HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 14, 2025--

Everest Funeral Concierge, the first nationwide funeral planning and concierge service, today announced Everest Group Benefits, a new offering available to U.S. employers. Previously only available through individual and group life insurance policies, Everest’s 24/7 human support will now be offered as an added value to an employer’s existing employee benefits portfolio.

Through the new Benefits offering, Everest is there for your employees during life’s most difficult moments, providing compassionate, real support for just pennies per employee each month. Dedicated, unbiased, licensed funeral directors—never bots or scripted calls—are available 24/7 to guide families through every detail, from making arrangements to sourcing trusted providers, all with transparent, easy-to-understand pricing.

“With Everest Group Benefits, employers can provide affordable, 24/7 human support to ease the burden of funeral planning and make a hard time a little easier for their employees — helping to minimize disruption, safeguard productivity, and most importantly, support people when they need it most,” said Mark Duffey, CEO of Everest Funeral Concierge.

Employee coverage extends to spouses or domestic partners, parents, in-laws and children (up to age 26) so their family is fully covered. Everest also offers a range of advance planning services including Will Prep SM to help employees prepare wills, health care directives and power of attorney; and Tenzing ® — a cloud-based vault for personal information.

“ One in 9 American employees face a loss yearly — they are overwhelmed by funeral arrangements and dealing with financial concerns all while trying to support their family. When this happens, management often struggles to find meaningful ways to effectively support their employees, and organizations incur billions in losses from reduced productivity, absenteeism and turnover,” Duffey added.

Millions of people across the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom are covered by Everest. For more information, please visit Everest Group Benefits.
