Densow will remain with Landmark as a key member of the Executive Leadership Team, focusing on Strategic Initiatives, Business Development and Partnerships.

"The funeral professionals leading these local businesses have built lasting relationships in their communities," said Seb D'Appolonia, President and CEO of Landmark Funeral Group. "We respect what they have built and are excited to be partnering with them. Our investment will help them to pursue their growth and expansion plans and enable the established local owner-operators to continue to guide the funeral home operations and provide the exceptional and personalized care their families expect."

"In Landmark, we found a partner that values our leaders and staff and shares our principles of integrity, respect, kindness and teamwork," said Densow. "This partnership gives us more resources to build on what our team has established and thoughtfully expanded."

Landmark's Recent Leadership and Preplanning Moves

Landmark partnered with Physicians Mutual and Precoa in July 2026 to expand funeral preplanning services across its network of more than 30 funeral homes in Ohio, Pennsylvania and neighboring states, EIN Presswire reported. The company appointed Matt Dugas as Director of Business Systems and Integrations that same month, with Dugas leading integration of business systems across the network and focusing on automating administrative tasks.

In August 2026, Landmark appointed Jackie Short as Chief Operating Officer, EIN Presswire reported. Short brought experience from Headlands Research and Marathon Health and will oversee operations across partner funeral homes, focusing on local leadership and scalable operating models. Landmark launched SHARE, an employee equity initiative for full-time staff at its Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia funeral homes, in September 2026, EIN Presswire reported.
