We learned earlier this week that Pinnacle Funeral Service, a funeral home owner and operator based in St. Petersburg, Florida, has acquired the Malcore Funeral Home & Crematory as well as Simply Cremation in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  According to a press release, the funeral home was founded in 1921 and has been owned and operated by the Malcore family for several generations.

Again according to the press release, “Between Malcore and Simply Cremation, the businesses serve more than 750 families annually”.

Tony Kumming, President of Pinnacle Funeral Service made this prepared comment in the press release, “Malcore has been a trusted name in Green Bay for more than 100 years. Their early leadership in cremation and their long-standing dedication to families make this a meaningful partnership. . . . “

The press release also states that “Matt Malcore will continue to manage day-to-day operations, ensuring continuity for the families they serve. His wife, Lisa, will remain as a preneed advisor, and both of Matt’s parents will also stay actively involved in the business. . . “

Matt Malcore made this comment in a prepared statement in the press release, “Pinnacle will provide us with the tools we need to be successful. From the beginning, Pinnacle stood out for how they treat people—families, employees, and owners alike. They’re not trying to change who we are; they’re here to support our team and help us grow responsibly while staying true to our mission. . . . ”

According to Wikipedia, the Green Bay SMSA ranks 161st in the USA and has grown at a 1.6% rate from the 2020 Census until 2024.
