CMS Mid-Atlantic, Chairman and CEO Bernard Stoecklein had been in the cemetery business for more than 35 years, first as a salesman for his father’s company, CMS West, and eventually becoming its co-owner in 1978. Under Mr. Stoecklein’s leadership, CMS West grew to become one of the largest privately held cemetery and funeral home companies in the northeast. In 1997, he sold CMS West to pursue new dreams. Building upon the success of CMS West and his experience, Mr. Stoecklein realized his dreams by founding CMS Mid-Atlantic, Inc., in 1997.
With his family roots in the cemetery business for more than half a century, Mr. Stoecklein and his team have learned what it takes to be successful in the industry. At CMS, we have built the company on its three major strengths, which are: fostering trust, providing financial security and creating a positive workplace. We believe these strengths have a tangible effect on everyone associated with our company. And we are proud that our focus on integrity has served as an underlying theme throughout our history.
CMS Mid-Atlantic, Inc., provides financial, marketing and consulting services as well as business development processes to the cemetery industry throughout New Jersey and New York. The company's philosophy embodies three guiding principles—those being fostering trust, providing financial security and creating a positive workplace—that serve as a foundation for growth, strength and success.
A commitment to upholding these principles enables the company to provide dedicated service and quality products. In its relationships with cemeteries and memorial parks, the company provides information and guidance that assists these premier properties in re-investing their surplus funds. This results in unparalleled performance for the customers, shareholders, employees and the community at large.
