Our Story
Most consultants understand business.
Most funeral professionals understand funeral service.
Few understand both.
Travis Newman founded HCHO Resources to help funeral homes address workforce challenges with solutions grounded in both industry experience and organizational science.
After two decades working in funeral service, education, embalming, and leadership development, Travis recognized a growing need for practical support in areas such as employee retention, hiring, onboarding, leadership development, and organizational effectiveness.
Today, HCHO Resources partners with funeral homes, funeral service organizations, attorneys, and industry professionals throughout the profession.
What sets us apart
Professional Expertise Meets Organizational Science
Unlike general business consultants, HCHO Resources focuses on the unique realities of funeral service.
Our recommendations are built on:
- Funeral service industry experience
- Industrial and organizational psychology principles
- Evidence-based leadership practices
- Workforce engagement and retention research
- Practical solutions that work in real funeral homes
We understand the challenges funeral professionals face because we have worked in those environments ourselves.
