Our Story
A journey that is changing the funeral industry culturally and spiritually...
In 2007 our Founder, Ed Bixby, transformed his life forever by walking down an unpredictable path assuming ownership of the Steelmantown Cemetery and entering into a profession unknown to him.
His role resulted out of care and sustainability to his ancestor’s family cemetery that had fallen into disrepair. Ed’s life and being chose a path for him long before he knew of its existence.
This new endeavor led him to a passion to help heal family pain for others and unlock a vision of something new but very old. In the fabric of all individuals' DNA lies the innate instinctual ability to care for ones loved one in death as they were cared for in life.
Ed understood this common thread shared among us. Through his thoughtful, careful design and compassionate teachings, he has been able to allow this ability to be shared through Steelmantown’s unique offerings.
In 2017, Ed embarked upon a journey of creating special spaces like Steelmantown across the United States. In doing so, he created Destination Destiny, his company that manages Steelmantown Cemetery Company's properties. Ed now owns fifteen natural burial preserves, a number that will continue to grow as he brings new life to many more neglected burial grounds with natural burial.
Ed invites all to embrace life in death his eco-friendly funeral products and services. Explore his offerings by browsing our 'Natural Cemeteries,' 'Water Options,' and 'Eco-Friendly Funeral Products' tabs.
