About Steelmantown Cemetery Company
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.
Ed has created a cemetery business model like no other by embracing life in death surrounded by nature and the living in a natural environment.
Ed and Steelmantown Cemetery Company have embraced this special talent and developed offerings through a new ground breaking company Destination Destiny. Destination Destiny now offers these eco-friendly funeral options nationally and globally.
A message from Steelmantown Cemetery Company's founder, Ed Bixby....
The Steelmantown Cemetery Company and Destination Destiny will help lead the way for others to learn of the final gift one may leave by choosing environmental and spiritual stewardship as the final act of ones life and how they chose to live that life.
Among our eco offerings are natural burial, tree of life celebrations and memorial reefs. These offerings help create a carbon offset by nurturing the living while helping ease the burden of the carbon footprint one leaves of the life that they lived.
The world we live in is ours and yours to protect and sustain. Eco funeral offerings, offer new hope for a better tomorrow that I never promised but always dawns.
Destination Destiny and Steelmantown Cemetery Company properties strive to bring eco-friendly funeral options throughout the world. Changing the world culturally one space at a time, giving a final disposition option that truly defines the life that was lived.
Our business motto is and always will be.. “Today, tomorrow and forever.. change is a powerful tool to be shared with others.. life is precious, live everyday as it’s your last.. treat the world we live in with care, as it belongs to all."
Destination Destiny and Steelmantown Cemetery Company properties are here to educate and steward.
Sincerely,
Ed Bixby
