Arbor Memorial retains gold status designation for overall business performance and sustained growth 

Arbor Memorial was recognized for its industry-leading performance, its business practices, and its sustained growth by receiving the prestigious 2023 Canada’s Best Managed Companies award.  

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program awards excellence in private Canadian-owned companies with revenues of $50 million or greater. To attain the designation, companies are evaluated on their leadership in the areas of strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities, and innovation, governance and financial performance. 

“This year’s Best Managed winners displayed courage, resourcefulness, and creativity as they explored new avenues for advancement,” said Lorrie King, Partner, Deloitte Private and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “We’re extremely proud to recognize the impressive achievements of companies such as Arbor Memorial in this particularly rapidly evolving business world. Their successes demonstrate the importance of strong leadership and forethought in driving long-term growth.” 

Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing innovative and world‑class businesses. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent evaluation process. 

Applicants are evaluated by an independent panel of judges with representation from program sponsors and special guests. 

“With six years as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies under its belt, the team at Arbor will continue their momentum with growth in all areas of serving families and remain focused on fostering an engaging and positive workplace,” said David Scanlan, Chairman, President & CEO for Arbor Memorial. “We’re humbled to again receive this distinction.”  

The 2023 cohort of Best Managed companies share common themes such as having a people-centric culture, targeting effective environmental, social, governance (ESG) strategies, and accelerating operational digitization.
