Altamonte Springs, FL (August 4, 2026) – For families looking to create a multigenerational legacy, Everstory Partners is introducing Evermark, its new family estate brand to custom design private family estates that reimagine how families preserve their stories, honor loved ones and create a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Working alongside experienced architects and memorial design professionals, Everstory guides families through every step of the journey, from initial vision to design through construction, installation and dedication. The result is a one-of-a-kind memorial that reflects the family’s values while standing as a tribute for generations.
Evermark Family Estates builds on Everstory Partners’ long-standing family estate offerings through the Memorial Planning network of more than 460 locations across the United States. Evermark brings renewed focus to custom estates while helping families better understand the memorialization options available to them.
“Families today are looking for something deeply personal, something that reflects not only the lives of those they love, but the legacy they hope to leave for generations to come. Families deserve the knowledge and confidence to make memorialization decisions that reflect what matters most to them,” said Lilly Donohue, president and CEO of Everstory Partners. “Evermark represents the highest expression of personalized memorialization. Every estate is uniquely designed to tell a family’s story through exceptional architecture and craftsmanship.”
Each Evermark Family Estate is custom-created and may include:
– Private walk-in or walk-around mausoleum
– Multigenerational burial and cremation estates
– Custom architectural monuments and memorial structures
– Premium granite, bronze and natural stone elements
– Personalized stained glass, family crests, inscriptions and artistic features
– Gardens, gathering spaces and landscaping designed for reflection and remembering
“Throughout history, families have created enduring places that preserve their stories,” said Brooke Austin, vice president of premium sales and new product development for Everstory Partners. “Evermark gives today’s families the opportunity to create a place of permanence. A beautiful destination where future generations can gather, celebrate life and ensure that every story continues to be told.”
To commemorate the launch of Evermark, Everstory Partners will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Aug. 11, 2026, at Windridge Memorial Park and Nature Sanctuary in Cary, Illinois. The event will mark the opening of the Windridge showcase estate and include remarks from company leadership, guided tours and media interview opportunities. Additional Evermark walk-in models are showcased at Calvary Cemetery in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania; Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery in Springfield, Pennsylvania; and Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit, Michigan.
