We are an affiliation of 24 funeral chapel locations, two crematories, and 1 cemetery location, all in South Dakota. Our philosophy is based on uncompromised excellence in service and a belief that the people involved in the organization are the heart and soul of its success. This belief in our people has lead us to an ownership structure and benefit program that is unique to most others found in funeral service. Our ownership structure is much like a law-firm or other professional firm where there is an opportunity to become a shareholder after six years of employment. We currently have 28 shareholders in Pioneer Enterprises, Inc. and hope to add more as individuals become eligible. We also have a benefit plan that is designed to attract and retain the very best people in funeral service. We share a concern with many in funeral service that far too many young people are leaving the profession too quickly. We have designed a one-year mentoring/apprenticeship program that will hopefully eliminate young professionals from becoming overwhelmed and leaving funeral service. For more information on Pioneer Enterprises, Inc., go to our websites at www.sdfuneral.com.
