Profile: Stewart Enterprises, Inc.

Stewart Enterprises is much more than a death care company.

We are thousands of heartfelt, professional individuals working together as a great team to serve families with their death care needs. We are moms and dads, sons and daughters and grandparents. We are school and church volunteers, little league coaches and Scout leaders. We are community leaders, civic organizers and association members. We are college graduates, licensed professionals and full- and part-time workers — we are just like you.

What is “Employee First”?

At Stewart, we’re committed to creating an environment of “Employee First.” What does this mean?

Taking care of our employees means they’ll take better care of our customers. If they’re happier, they’re apt to give better service — the cornerstone of our business. At Stewart, employee satisfaction not only matters, it’s the key to getting the best efforts of our people and giving the best service to our customers.

We believe that satisfied people are successful in their careers — and more likely to stay with us a long time. Having employees who feel like they are advancing is important. The Company readily promotes from within, when possible. All jobs are internally posted to keep employees continually aware of growth opportunities. Employees also stay informed: they get regular newsletters, direct messages and access to our intranet site featuring the latest news and information.
