How Much Is It Worth?
by David Shipper and Amanda Bolli
After a lifetime -- and maybe several generations of lifetimes -- of building your cemetery or funeral home business, you've decided it's time to sell. How can you be sure you're getting a fair price? Acquisition specialist David Shipper and his associate Amanda Bolli know precisely the process acquiring corporations use to determine the value of cemeteries and funeral homes. In the January 1999 issue, they detail the steps in a funeral home valuation. In February 1999, they will take a look at cemetery valuation.
Both of David Shipper and Amanda Bolli's "How Much Is It Worth" articles are available through the ICFA Online Store as part of our Cemetery/Funeral Home Valuation package, which includes five articles about this specialized area of appraisal.
David Shipper is president of Futura Group Inc., a company based in Princeton, New Jersey, specializing in strategic succession planning for cemetery and funeral home owners. He is a former vice president of corporate development for The Loewen Group and is ICFA vice president, Services and Administrative Steering Committee. Amanda Bolli is Futura's chief financial officer. They can be contacted at (609) 430-1650 or via e-mail at mail@futuragroup.com.
