J & C Advisors has announced a three-day professional immersion program at Robinson Funeral Homes & Memorial Gardens in Easley, South Carolina, scheduled for March 17–19, 2026. The program will bring funeral service professionals together for an inside look at one of the profession’s longest-operating family firms and its modern operating model.
Founded in 1875, Robinson Funeral Homes is a fifth-generation, family-owned firm that has transitioned from a traditional funeral home into a multi-service operation through facility investment, service diversification and disciplined management systems. The firm is recognized for aligning family experience, staff culture and financial performance in a changing marketplace.
The immersion experience will be hosted by Chris Robinson, multi-generation owner of Robinson Funeral Homes & Memorial Gardens and immediate past president of the National Funeral Directors Association. Robinson is known for integrating modern business practices with innovative service design while preserving a relational culture rooted in family service.
“As with our previous Blue Ocean Tours, this program is designed as a hands-on learning experience,” said Alan Creedy, founder of J & C Advisors. “Funeral directors learn best from each other when they can see real operations and discuss real decisions.”
The program will include:
• Facility and operations tours.
• Executive-level discussions on service delivery and business management.
• Peer collaboration and professional networking.
Attendance is limited. Get additional information or contact Alan Creedy, (919) 280-1217, or Danny Jefferson, (336) 707-4654.
