Innovative Life Event Center
Hiers-

Opens
dent and CEO. “We are al-
ways looking to create new
ideas, tools and technolo-
gies that enhance the lives
of those around us. Like our
ShareLife® technology plat-
form, this new Life Event
Center is a truly innovative
idea that resonates with peo-
ple, especially families.”
The Life Event Center fur-
ther expands Hiers-Baxley’s
capability to provide families
with a facility to host all of
their important life-affirm-
ing events, not just funer-
als. It also offers the surrounding business
community an outstanding venue with top-
notch facilities and state-of-the-art amenities.
The center was specifically designed with the
flexibility to hold meetings, celebrations and
conferences for groups large and small.
The building, designed by KP Studio Ar-
chitects of Ocala, sits on 2.5 acres in the
Buffalo Ridge area just east of The Vil-
lages. It is the first new facility built by
the Foundation Partners Group and is li-
censed as a funeral facility.
The Hiers-Baxley Life Event Center has
been in the planning stages for more than two
years and construction has been ongoing for
almost a year. It boasts the latest in technology
and includes a 12-ft. tall by 34-ft. wide pro-
jection screen, which is an important compo-
nent of FPG’s proprietary ShareLife® multi-
sensory technology platform.
Every room in the Life Event Center offers
relaxed surroundings and inviting décor to
make guests as comfortable as possible when
