Licensed Funeral Director, Embalmer or Apprentice in Minneapolis

Job Description

Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer or Apprentice

A rapidly growing embalming, transport, and cremation service that supports over 200+ funeral homes, coroners, and medical institutions across a wide regional network is looking for a licensed funeral director, embalmer or mortuary science student to join their team!

This opportunity is high-paced, back-of-house focused, and built for long-term professional growth.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• $60K - 100K compensation 
• On-call about 6 nights/month 
• Every other weekend is a 3- or 4-day weekend  
• No travel required — work is entirely based in one central, well-equipped facility
• Hands-on experience with complex, high-skill cases
• Clean, modern facility with top-of-the-line HVAC and prep environment
• Future ownership/succession potential for the right long-term fit
• Ongoing mentorship in advanced skills like facial reconstruction
• Positive, growth-oriented workplace culture — mentoring matters here

Annual Volume:

• 1,500 cremations/year
• 1,100 embalming's/year

This isn't your average funeral home role — this is a high-volume, high-skill environment where you’ll refine your craft and work with a team that values quality, consistency, and care.

 Who They’re Looking For:

• Licensed embalmers (or students/apprentices ready to grow)
• Detail-driven, dependable, calm under pressure
• Comfortable in a fast-moving, back-of-house setting
• Open to relocating to a safe, affordable, and growing Midwest city
• Ready to join a mission-driven team with long-term vision
