ABILENE, TX —Directors Investment Group (DIG), parent company to Funeral Directors Life, Passare, Claimcheck, and other subsidiaries, is honored to announce that it has been recognized as a 2025 Best Workplace in Texas™ by Great Place To Work® and Fortune! This is DIG’s ninth consecutive year on the list. The company was ranked #8 in the small and medium business category, surpassing last year’s placement at #13, and DIG was the only Abilene-based company to make the list.

“On behalf of our entire company, we appreciate this recognition from Great Place To Work and Fortune,” said Kris Seale, DIG President & CEO. “Being named on this list each year is a great honor, and I’m especially proud that we were recognized as one of the top 10 best workplaces in our wonderful state of Texas.”

To determine the qualifiers of the Best Workplaces in Texas™ List, Great Place To Work received more than 116,000 survey responses from employees at eligible Texas-based companies. Via the Trust Index™ Survey, employees responded to 60 statements and answered two open-ended questions, sharing their honest feedback about company leadership, workplace benefits, volunteer opportunities, and more. Employee feedback confirmed that DIG earned its spot in the top 10.

“Sometimes, it’s hard to believe our company started with four funeral home owners in West Texas and has grown to serve thousands of funeral homes nationwide with a team of over 500 dedicated employees,” Seale added. “To say we’re blessed with great people is an understatement. We’ll continue to serve our clients, our community, and each other with the same care and hospitality that Texas is known for.”
