 Stewart Enterprises Inc. - the second largest funeral organization in the United States - recently chose Facultatieve Technologies as its partner for the installation and maintenance of cremators and filter systems. Stewart has already ordered various systems that are expected to be ready for commissioning in the course of 2011/2012.
“We are exceptionally proud that Stewart Enterprises has chosen Facultatieve Technologies”, said Henry Keizer, President & CEO of 'the Facultatieve Group'. “After all, with over 360 funeral homes, cemeteries and crematoria, Stewart is one of the world's largest funeral companies. Stewart has an impressive history and are known for their cautious approach to selecting suppliers. So it is quite a statement that they have placed their faith in us. The fact that Facultatieve Technologies is not just another producer of equipment, but that we work together with our clients to find the best possible solution for every specific site was also a major contributory factor. Stewart was clearly not just looking for a supplier, but primarily for a ‘partner in business’.”
Benefiting nature
“Naturally it is crucial for Stewart that our cremation systems are state of the art, meet the most stringent standards and that highly trained engineers can be on-site at the drop of a hat”, suggests Jeff Pickard, Vice President of Technique of ‘the Facultatieve Group’. “Stewart considers sustainability and the environment as key responsibilities for their organization. Our extensive experience and specialist know-how in the field of eco-friendly technology ensures that our systems meet the strictest environmental standards. This means not only that gas emissions are reduced to an absolute minimum, but also that systems by Facultatieve Technologies consume considerably less energy. Those were important points in our discussions with Stewart.”
