On advice from their pro- fessor, they secured fund- ing, launched the business, and never looked back. Over the years, Derek and Brianne grew the business organically into one of the largest providers in the state of Washington. “Edwards Memorial and FPG are a natural fit as we share the same desire to pro- vide the highest level of per- sonalized service to those we are privileged to serve,” stated Widing. “Edwards Memorial has an outstand- ing reputation in the South Sound area and is a wonder- ful addition to the Founda- tion Partners family.” Foundation Partners Group (FPG) is a leading provider of innovative fu- neral and cemetery expe- riences and products. As one of the largest private- ly-owned funeral and cem- etery operators, FPG owns and operates funeral homes, cremation centers and cem- eteries in 17 states and is ac- tively seeking to expand its locations throughout the United States.
