National cemetery, funeral, and cremation provider recognized based on employee feedback
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FL, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Everstory Partners has earned Great Place To Work Certification for the second consecutive year, with the recognition based entirely on employee feedback across Everstory and its family of brands.More than 90 percent of Everstory’s 2,532 employees completed surveys through Great Place To Work®, providing feedback on workplace culture and employee experience. Everstory improved their Trust Index score by six points this year.
“Earning Great Place To Work Certification for a second consecutive year means even more because it reflects the sustainable culture our teams are building through steady, intentional work. We have focused on creating an environment where people feel supported, challenged, and given room to grow, and that commitment is showing up in stronger engagement and greater opportunity across Everstory,” said Lilly Donohue, president and CEO of Everstory Partners.
Examples of initiatives Everstory has implemented since the last survey include:
- Introduced an annual cash Anniversary Award for full- and part-time employees, recognizing years of service on their work anniversaries.
- Launched an Aspiring Manager Program – a self-study development initiative for employees who want to learn skills to help them grow professionally with Everstory.
- Selected location-level employees to attend national industry conventions to promote their professional development.
- Established Everstory Cares – an employee assistance program designed to provide financial assistance to qualified employees experiencing unexpected financial hardships.
- Implemented the Everstory Legends Award program to celebrate front-line team members who go beyond expectations and truly define what legendary service looks like.
“These initiatives are part of our continued focus on supporting our people and strengthening our teams,” Donohue added. “This feedback reinforces the progress we are making, but we know there is more to do. Our employees are central to that progress and to our ability to lead the industry with consistent, compassionate care for every family who places their trust in us.”
Great Place To Work is recognized as a global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation.

We want to actively listen to and understand the voices of our employees, and this shows our multi-year commitment to our workforce is making an impact.”
