StoneMor Inc. Announces Partnership With Sympathy Brands to Provide Unified Support for Families Navigating End-of-Life Matters
October 20 2021 - 3:02PM
StoneMor Inc. (NYSE: STON), a leading owner and
operator of cemeteries and funeral homes in the United States,
announced a strategic partnership with Sympathy Brands Company (S2
Brands, Inc.), the unifying resource and support platform that
guides families through all end-of-life matters. StoneMor
integrates with Sympathy Brands to provide each family with a
holistic experience that connects their funeral homes, families and
comforters when planning, mourning and memorializing loved ones.
The topic of mortality and planning for end of life remains
taboo, nuanced and emotionally difficult. Conversations surrounding
the subject require guidance and a strong support network to help
navigate sensitive decisions and numerous logistical items.
StoneMor brings people together by blending personal services
with appropriate technology, streamlining the planning and
decision-making process, while supporting families. Through its
strategic alliance with Sympathy Brands, StoneMor now provides the
most comprehensive, pre-planning, at-need, and continued aftercare
for families and their extended support networks at each step.
Sympathy Brands’ proprietary platform allows StoneMor to work
from a centralized connection point enabling a personalized and
unique interaction between their funeral homes, cemeteries and
families while removing logistical challenges. Bridging technology
and family care, the distinctive suite of services includes
Viewneral®, an interactive solution to extend and broaden support
for families with customizable gatherings to virtually eulogize,
memorialize and celebrate the deceased, and Aftercare, continued
communication dedicated to helping families beyond the funeral
service. Sympathy Brands seamlessly integrates with StoneMor’s
existing technology to streamline processes and improve data
management. Founded on the simple belief that helping families
through one of life’s most challenging moments requires a strong
support network, Sympathy Brands’ consumer-focused suite of
technology creates a unified experience for every family and their
extended network at their time of need.
“Partnering with Sympathy Brands provides new technology and
services to our platforms that allow us to continue to care for our
families in the most seamless way possible. This is another step
towards our vision of providing an industry leading approach of
being a Family First Company,” said Joe Redling, Stonemor’s
CEO.
“What makes this alliance so unique and powerful is that
StoneMor’s team is genuinely dedicated to easing the burden and
helping people,” says Michael Schimmel, CEO of Sympathy Brands. “We
have a shared vision for how technology benefits everyone. Our
collaboration and shared core value that the family comes first,
continues to build trust and confidence.”
StoneMor and Sympathy Brands strategic alliance is structured to
ensure families receive the most personalized, compassionate, and
comprehensive experience, modernizing end-of-life matters.
