How to use the directory

From a name to a first call

  1. Read the role guide

    Each discipline links to a page on what that kind of professional does, how they are typically paid, and the question to ask before hiring one.

  2. Open the profile

    Every partner has a page of their own: services, training and experience, and a plain statement that they are independent of Endurance.

  3. Call them directly

    Phone numbers and websites are printed on each profile, so a family can reach the practice itself without going through us.

Independence, in plain words

They work for themselves, not for us

Every person here runs their own firm or practice. We refer families to them. They aren’t our staff, and each profile says so in plain words.

A referral from us is a starting point. It’s not a verdict, so the role guides still apply to the people we name: ask how they’re paid, and ask the question printed beside their discipline.
