Tony Kumming Named President of NewBridge Group

Tampa, Florida (February 24, 2022)– NewBridge Group, a leader in funeral service succession planning for more than 20 years, today announced the appointment of Tony Kumming as President.

Kumming has more than 15 years’ experience successfully managing the sale of funeral homes. He holds a Juris Doctor from Stetson University College of Law, and his past roles include business development and analysis at Keystone Group Holdings, and senior business advisor at NewBridge Group. In 2019, Kumming became a managing partner at NewBridge Group.

Founded in 2001 by now-former president Jeff Boutwell, NewBridge Group specializes in confidentially navigating the sale of funeral homes to qualified, privately owned buyers. “As NewBridge continues to experience tremendous growth, Tony’s leadership and proven track record in underwriting and helping owners accomplish their goals makes him a perfect person to fill this role,” said Boutwell.

The catalyst for much of this growth is credited to Tony Kumming and his team’s unique perspective in all aspects of the business. “We have CPAs, MBAs, attorneys, as well as licensed funeral directors on our team to help guide funeral home owners through exploring a sale,” said Kumming. “We understand the primary goals of developing an exit strategy are maximizing the proceeds for the owner and connecting with buyers who are a positive cultural fit for their business.” Kumming continued, “Our team of funeral service professionals deliver these key services at no cost to the owner so they can fulfill their retirement goals. They are the best in the business, and I am honored to lead NewBridge into the future.”
