Fred Richardt

San Juan Funeraria

When I decided to look for a succession plan, I ended up with several offers and ultimately selected Carriage because of their history, reputation, and the relationship they built with me over a short period of time. I reached out to other previous owners who had partnered with Carriage and received nothing but positive feedback. I felt confident that not only would they continue to operate the business in the same manner I did for 22 years, take great care of the people, but also invest in the growth of the business.

When looking for a partner for my business, I chose Carriage because of the commitment they gave regarding continued investment in the business. They don’t just acquire and then trim costs, it’s the exact opposite. They work to identify areas in need of growth, then make the necessary investments.

I love the entrepreneurial spirit of Carriage. I have never worked for anybody and I still don’t, I partner with Carriage. I view the whole organization as my partner, and I run the business now the same way I did when I owned the business. I still have the same passion and abilities that I did before.

My partnership with Carriage has benefited me personally through simple interactions with other high-performing leaders at Carriage. These relationships have spring boarded my personal development by sharing ideas on operations, sales, merchandising, and marketing. Having very intelligent, hard-working partners to collaborate with has been very advantageous to the growth of my business and me as a leader.
