Your industry, which has a rich history of providing outstanding service to people in need, is now being buffeted by market forces that include frenzied consolidation and deep manufacturer discounts which afford national chains huge advantages over independent, locally owned funeral homes.
Similar circumstances led to the founding of Van G. Miller & Associates more than a decade ago. The VGM Group, as it is known, now administers three of the largest buying alliances in the country. In addition to volume discounts on quality products and services, Members are offered ancillary benefits - financial services, telecommunications, insurance, industry-specific legal advice, advertising and marketing support and more.
The VGM Group is in business to support independent businesspeople. Our groups now service more than 5,000 members in the U.S. and Canada.
The Independent Funeral Group of America is The VGM Group's newest company. It was founded to help independent funeral homes stay that way. VGM's philosophy has always been that quality service at fair prices to people is best given by local, independent providers.
If independents are to prosper in these challenging times, strategic alliances are critical. The Independent Funeral Group of America is here to help you, the locally owned funeral home, do what you do best: provide service to your friends and neighbors when they need it the most.
Call today to see how IFGA can work for you.
