Vandor Corporation is celebrating the first anniversary of its Starmark Local distribution center in Statesville, North Carolina. Starmark Local opened in May 2024 and tackled some challenges, including Hurricane Helene, in its first year.

Starmark Local started with Haley Cowles as service center director; today, there are three team members. Together, they serve funeral homes and crematories in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.

“Opening Starmark Local in North Carolina has been such an exciting adventure for us. Joining a new company and having Starmark trust me to build this local business from the ground up has been an honor,” Cowles said. “Being new to the funeral industry, I was very nervous, but with the great leadership and training from Starmark, they helped us succeed in our first year!” starmarkcp.com
