His leadership will be instrumental in executing an integration program centered on partnership, transparency and long-term success.
“At Milestone, we believe that the experience a funeral home has during its transition sets the foundation for a successful future,” said Michael Martel, CEO of Milestone Funeral Partners. “David’s proven leadership, operational expertise, and commitment to serving others make him the ideal candidate to lead this important initiative. We’re excited to have him build a team dedicated to creating the best possible onboarding experience for every location that joins the Milestone family.”
Mahoney joins Milestone with more than 20 years of leadership experience in public service, operations, and organizational development.

Throughout his career, Mahoney led multidisciplinary teams, managed complex operations, and remained committed to developing future leaders through collaboration, mentorship, and servant leadership.
His dedication to service extends beyond his professional career. Mahoney served on the advisory board of the Brett M. Staples Brain Disorder Awareness Coalition and continues to mentor first responders through resilience and leadership programs. His distinguished service has been recognized with the Medal of Valor from his former police department as well as the Massachusetts Coalition of Police Platinum Medal of Valor.

By listening, collaborating, and providing the resources they need, we can ensure every partner feels welcomed, supported, and positioned for long-term success.”
A lifelong New Englander, Mahoney is excited to contribute to Milestone’s mission of serving families and communities across its growing network of funeral homes, cemeteries, and cremation providers.
