Renewing Our Commitment:

In 1895 Howard S. Eckels founded the company that still bears his name. He was widely regarded as an innovator and pioneer in the art and science of modern embalming. His commitment to excellence was and is the Eckels hallmark.

Over the ensuing years we have witnessed dramatic and sweeping change in the funeral service profession and the pace of change will only continue to hasten.

As we stand at the gateway to the new millennium Eckels will remain steadfastly committed to providing the funeral service profession with a continuous stream of new, creative and innovative products and services based on tireless research and development. We have and will continue to listen carefully to the needs of our valued clients and we will provide the answers that are necessary to respond to this ever-changing environment.

We will not follow change, rather we will lead the changes that are necessary to assist our clients as they continue to search for new ways to serve their families in a more meaningful and tangible manner.

We will look forward and not backward, and we will continue to follow the principles of our founder through the most up-to-date methods available to us as we endeavor not just to meet the expectations of our clients but exceed their expectations.

This has been and will continue to be our commitment.

Sincerely,

Richard A. Steele
President
