Pinnacle Funeral Service: One of Atlanta's Fastest Growing Companies

Pinnacle Funeral Service • June 14, 2022

Pinnacle Funeral Service joined an elite group of middle-market businesses in the Atlanta area last month by being recognized as one of the Georgia Fast 40. Honorees are recognized as companies that grew revenue at an accelerated pace in 2021.

The Georgia FAST 40 recognizes the fastest growing companies by revenue and number of employees. ACG Atlanta is the premier network in the Southeast for experts and decision-making professionals focused on strategies for increasing stakeholder value.


The annual awards, which are administered by the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), are set to be presented later this month. 

 

“We’re genuinely wowed by this,” Pinnacle Funeral Service Controller Melissa Howsare said. “Pinnacle is a pretty traditional professional services business, so it’s an honor to be cited for an award like this, especially among so many tech companies and startups.”

 

Pinnacle Funeral Service was founded in 2007. The firm has made a commitment to strategically growing the business through acquisitions, consolidating operations, modernizing brands and facilities, and, most importantly, providing exceptional service. 

 

“There’s solemn respect for the businesses and operators that help families,” Howsare said. “We support that through and through.”

 

She went on to say this award would raise the company’s profile and trust with funeral home owners who want to establish a succession plan.


Pinnacle is a privately owned company that plans to be around for a long time. For a number of owners, Pinnacle has served as a good fit, offering secure succession and attractive retirement options.


"It's important that funeral home owners feel they're putting their life's work in good hands," Howsare added. "We think this award reinforces that we are getting things right."
