Description
This established crematory operation presents a comprehensive business and real estate acquisition opportunity in a well-positioned market. The facility operates as a full-service crematory with dedicated infrastructure supporting both client-facing services and specialized crematory operations.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
The business maintains an established operational framework within the death care services industry. Current operations are structured under owner-management, with financial performance reflecting this operational model. The facility has been designed to accommodate the full spectrum of crematory services while maintaining appropriate separation between public and operational areas.
FACILITY & INFRASTRUCTURE
A comprehensive facility buildout was completed in 2024, delivering a fully operational crematory equipped with necessary infrastructure and regulatory compliance features. The facility eliminates typical development timelines and capital expenditure requirements associated with ground-up construction, providing immediate operational capability for qualified operators.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Revenue generation demonstrates consistent operational activity, with approximately $118,163 recorded in 2025 and $83,886 year-to-date in 2026. Financial structure reflects owner-operated model with no current payroll obligations. Prospective buyers should conduct comprehensive financial analysis incorporating anticipated operational structure, staffing requirements, and ownership costs.
REAL ESTATE COMPONENT
The underlying real estate is held by an affiliated entity and available for acquisition concurrent with business operations. This structure provides buyers the opportunity to secure both operational assets and property ownership, offering enhanced control over facility utilization and long-term strategic positioning.
ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITY
This opportunity suits qualified buyers seeking established crematory operations with accompanying real estate holdings. The combination of operational infrastructure, established market presence, and property ownership creates a comprehensive acquisition platform within the death care services sector.

Originally constructed in 1982
Substantially built out/renovated in 2024
The facility is currently operating, allowing a buyer to step into an established space rather than undertake a lengthy site search, permitting process, conversion, or major equipment buildout.
Growth Opportunities
The facility offers several avenues for future growth. Funeral homes and other death-care providers that currently outsource cremation services may represent an opportunity to bring additional volume in-house.
The gas service is already stubbed for a second retort, providing the potential to expand cremation capacity within the existing facility rather than requiring a new location.
