The nation’s second largest provider of funeral services launches Afterall and acquires Cake to meet growing demand for end-of-life services

WINTER PARK, Fla., Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Foundation Partners Group, the second largest provider of funeral services in the United States, today announced the launch of Afterall, a new digital platform that simplifies how families find and choose local funeral homes. The company is also announcing the acquisition of Cake, a trailblazer in online end-of-life planning tools and resources. These initiatives represent a significant step toward modernizing the funeral service landscape and integrating various services into a single platform.

The global end-of-life planning market is a nearly $30 billion dollar industry,* estimated to grow upwards of six percent* through 2030 as the baby boomer population ages. Unlike other industries, which have answered the consumer call for highly personalized yet streamlined experiences, end-of-life planning has largely lacked a more comprehensive solution until now.

“The launch of Afterall with the acquisition of Cake are critical first steps in streamlining and simplifying the end-of-life experience,” said Chris Blackwell, interim CEO of Foundation Partners Group. “We meet with families going through the end-of-life experience every single day and many wish they were better prepared and had easier ways to move through the process. We believe this is just the start in changing the end-of-life category for the better.”

Foundation Partners Group Launches Afterall

Afterall is launching as one of the largest online funeral service providers, featuring Foundation Partners Group’s robust portfolio of more than 250 funeral homes, cemeteries and direct-to-consumer cremation services together in one place, along with helpful online resources, free digital obituary services and a memorial store. With Afterall, instead of endless online searches and phone calls to compare funeral providers, families can visit one website to find a local funeral home they trust, as well as the right services to fit their unique needs.

“From an increase in cremation to a myriad of non-traditional celebrations of life, families are seeking choice in all facets of end-of-life care,” said Lee Senderov, chief marketing and digital officer of Foundation Partners Group. “The goal of Afterall is to make this once complicated and overwhelming process easy and simple, allowing families more space and energy to honor their loved ones.”

Foundation Partners Group Acquires Cake

In conjunction with the launch of Afterall, Foundation Partners Group has made the strategic decision to acquire Cake, a pioneer in providing online resources and digital planning tools. Since its launch, over 100,000,000 people have used Cake’s extensive catalog of more than 5,000 articles and planning tools to navigate the intricacies of end-of-life planning including wills, funeral arrangements, advance care directives, estate settlement and grief. 

“Navigating the end-of-life journey can be a fragmented and confusing experience for families during one of the most stressful and challenging times in their lives,” said Suelin Chen, Ph. D, founder of Cake. “Cake was founded with the vision that other life milestones – like having babies or getting married – had online tools to make the process easier. This just wasn’t true for the end-of-life category. We are excited to join Foundation Partners Group with the launch of Afterall to continue this mission to bridge the gap.”

Long-term growth plans for Afterall include providing more comprehensive resources and tools for all stages of the end-of-life experience and more.

After nearly two years in business, Dr. Ashley Milhizer’s Tempe-based center for naturopathic medicine and aesthetics has experienced the type of growth that rival industry titans. Real Results Medical & Aesthetics – soon to be opening a second location in Scottsdale in early 2025 – has seen an impressive 300% growth since opening their doors in March 2023.

TEMPE, Ariz., Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — After nearly two years in business, Dr. Ashley Milhizer’s Tempe-based center for naturopathic medicine and aesthetics has experienced the type of growth that rival industry titans. Real Results Medical & Aesthetics – soon to be opening a second location in Scottsdale in early 2025 – has seen an impressive 300% growth since opening their doors in March 2023.

Aside from patient referrals and cutting-edge technology, Milhizer credits social media as one of the biggest avenues for growth. “Between TikTok and Instagram we’ve amassed over 25,000 followers and that accounts for about 70% of our new business.”

Aside from patient referrals and cutting-edge technology, Milhizer credits social media as one of the biggest avenues for growth. “Between TikTok and Instagram we’ve amassed over 25,000 followers and that accounts for about 70% of our new business,” said Dr. Ashley Milhizer, Founder of Real Results Medical & Aesthetics.

On both platforms, Dr. Milhizer shares educational videos and insights into various medical & aesthetic procedures. Her engaging content not only highlights the quality of care she provides but also educates her audience on the latest trends and treatments in the field.

Originally from Michigan, and a graduate of UC Davis and the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences, it was Dr. Milhizer’s personal experience in seeing how natural remedies can significantly impact the body that inspired her to get into the field.

“While I was in school, a friend of mine was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and was given up to 18 months to live and I became determined to research every kind of remedy that could potentially help,” said Dr. Milhizer. “From a healthy diet, supplements and a host of other naturopathic strategies, we tried everything we could find and two months later he was in remission, and he’s still alive today.”

The power of naturopathic remedies, following an early career path in sports medicine – which enabled her to work with some of the state’s top professional athletes – is what led her to forming Real Results Medical & Aesthetics. The company’s broad depth of services is also what allowed her to expand her reach of clientele beyond athletes to everyone from the Valley’s elite CEOs and stay at home Moms to patients ranging from their early 20s to upper 80s.

The naturopathic services offered at Real Results Medical & Aesthetics include hormone optimization, peptide therapy, IV therapy, natural pain relief, weight loss, food allergy testing and overall diagnostic testing. While the aesthetics side of the business offers services such as hair restoration, skin resurfacing, botox, fillers, microneedling, RF Plasma skin resurfacing, laser treatments, vein removal and body contouring.

ICEYE expands its Earth Observation capabilities with launch of two SAR satellites for mid-inclination orbit on the Bandwagon-2 mission with SpaceX

Mid-inclination orbit provides more SAR-imaging opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe for ICEYE customers.

HELSINKI, Finland, Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICEYE, the global leader in SAR satellite operations for Earth Observation and persistent monitoring, announced today that it has launched two new satellites to its constellation of SAR satellites. Both satellites expand the availability of ICEYE’s latest imaging technology to deliver additional 25 cm imaging capacity. The satellites were integrated via Exolaunch and launched as part of the Bandwagon-2 rideshare mission with SpaceX from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA. Both satellites have established communication, and early routine operations are underway. With today’s launch, ICEYE has successfully launched 40 satellites into orbit since 2018, with nine satellites launched in 2024 alone.

The new SAR satellites were launched into mid-inclination orbits; compared to a polar orbit, these mid-inclination orbits provide more than twice the collection opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe. ICEYE customers have many areas of interest in these middle latitudes (+/- 45 degrees), and these customers will benefit from increased persistence over these regions. Customers with imaging interests outside these middle latitudes will continue to benefit from the frequent revisit enabled by ICEYE’s dozens of satellites in polar orbits. ICEYE’s unique mix of mid-inclination and polar orbits provides its customers with deep revisit capabilities for targets all around the globe. The new satellites will serve ICEYE’s commercial missions as part of the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation owned and operated by ICEYE.

Rafal Modrzewski, CEO and Co-founder of ICEYE said: “This launch marks another significant milestone in ICEYE’s ability to provide our customers with a rich diversity of collection opportunities. We bolster our industry-leading SAR constellation and expand our customers’ collection opportunities in the areas most important to them.”

Today’s launch is another step forward in ICEYE’s steady drumbeat of innovative breakthroughs in Earth Observation. This year alone, ICEYE has, for example, introduced Dwell Precise, a new 25 cm imaging mode that offers its customers the highest-fidelity 25cm imaging capability, and adds advanced capability to ICEYE’s line of Dwell products; launched an API that allows customers to directly task its SAR satellite constellation; and launched ICEYE Ocean Vision to provide actionable intelligence for maritime domain awareness.

About ICEYE

ICEYE delivers unparalleled persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth, faster and more accurately than ever before.

Owning the world’s largest synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation, ICEYE provides objective, near real-time insights, ensuring that customers have unmatched access to actionable high-quality data, day or night, even in challenging environmental conditions. As a trusted partner to governments and commercial industries, ICEYE delivers intelligence in sectors such as insurance, natural catastrophe response and recovery, security, maritime monitoring, and finance, enabling decision-making that contributes to community resilience and sustainable development.

ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, the UK, Australia, Japan, UAE, Greece, and the US.  We have more than 700 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
