James Davenport

Regional Sales Director

James Davenport for the past fourteen years has been in the funeral and cemetery. Prior to his employment in the death care industry, he was the Director of Marketing and Admissions at Randolph Nursing Home, in Winchester, Indiana. During his time serving residents and their families, he learned about the importance of preneed arrangements.  Also at that time, James learned about the importance of building relationships and serving others. 

In 2008, he transitioned from serving families at the nursing home, into assisting families who had already lost members, or who were planning to prepare for those times. Gardens of Memory allowed James to continue his passion for helping families. While there he witnessed many forms of tragedy that allowed him to better understand the death care industry and how to better assist each family’s unique needs. 

While at Gardens of Memory, he began his journey as a family service counselor. As a counselor, James learned how to grow his contacts by creating a better experience for his clients at perhaps the hardest point in their lives. As his abilities grew so did his contacts. His company recognized his achievements with several counselor awards and shortly thereafter, James rose to the position of manager. As a manager, he no longer was focused on his own accomplishments but of his team. His reason was now to hire and train the team, to teach them how to assist families with respect, and in doing so build those lasting relationships. James earned sales manager awards in 2015, 2016, and 2018.

During his time with Stonemor Partners L.P. James truly felt that the relationships he built were a scaffolding to his success and empowered him to continue his career path which led him to Envision Strategic Partners now in 2022. James is thrilled to be able to build new relationships with counselors, train team members, and partner with funeral homes in multiple areas around the United States.
