It was announced last week in this press release that Orlando, Florida based Foundation Partners Group has acquired the Atkins-Northland Funeral Home & Cremation Service located in Cloquet, Minnesota.  According to the press release, this addition brings the Foundation Partner Group count in Minnesota to six locations.

Again, according to the release, the acquired funeral home began in 1936 as the Northland Cooperative Burial Association and operated as an association until taken private in 2009 by Bob and Karen Atkins.  The Atkins have owned the funeral and cremation business from 2009 until this acquisition by Foundation Partners Group.
