ABOUT
Ernesto Rosales is well versed and respected within the funeral industry. He initially began working for FitzHenry Funeral Home, a family owned mortuary in Indio, California. He, along with the FitzHenry Family were honored to arrange and direct many Funeral Services in the Coachella Valley. He then took his knowledge and experience to surrounding mortuaries, leading their teams in both at need and prearranged funerals. Ernesto acknowledged the value in Funeral Pre-arrangements, and decided to dedicate himself and his newfound team to educate the importance of preplanning. Today he owns a brokerage firm which deals in funeral and cemetery products mostly in Southern California. With over 20 years in this industry he is known very well in the communities that he serves due to his professional and non profit contributions. He has become a frequent top producer in the country for the last 5 years. Recently he has secured exclusive brokerage rights to three Catholic cemeteries in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
