When two industry veterans come together, doors open.
Virginia Morticians Association’s Living Legend Award winner Kenneth Floyd and I share a history that spans more than 20 years.
Today, we’re putting that experience to work for you.
Through a powerful collaboration with Premier Pre-Need Marketing, The Commander Initiative is proud to deliver a stronger, smarter pathway for independent funeral homes to secure their pre-need presence in the communities they serve.
Why now?
Because the landscape is shifting.
Cremation is rising.
Costs are climbing.
Families are asking for options.

And the truth is simple: without an effective pre-need program, you’re leaving your future — and your market share — wide open.

We will be launching 3 (three) new funeral home locations, in the month of October, complete with training and licensed agent placement to ensure programs are not just established, but successful.

Now I’ll ask you directly:
* Are your current pre-need efforts strong enough?
* Is your funeral home visible in your community?
* When families ask about pre-need, can you confidently say yes?

Because while you wait, someone else is eating your lunch.
This is your opportunity. Don’t let it pass by. Do you qualify?

Serious inquiries only, let's talk about it first.

Our Story

Funeral Home/Cemetery Merchandise

The Commander Initiative is a program envisioned by Cooper Professionals CEO Eddie Pitt based on the idea that the million-of-dollars African-American spend in the death-care industry can be harnessed to bring greater benefit to Black funeral homes and the families they serve. In the first year The Initiative has grown into a national network of leading independent funeral homes/funeral service providers performing a combined total of over 10,000 services per year. This predominately African-American network has committed to the concept of cooperative buying of essential products & services.Major supplier and vendors are responding. The Commander Initiative is currently accepting and reviewing bids offering discounts and other preferred terms in return for the volume of purchases Partners are expected to make when the buying pools are activated in the 2-3rd quarter of 2019.
