Job Description

🧤       Back-of-House Pros Wanted – Big Opportunity, Bold Future in the Midwest

Hi there,
If you're a licensed embalmer or funeral director ready to elevate your career — this is your shot at something bigger. 💼  🔥  
We’re working with a rapidly growing embalming, transport, and cremation service that supports over 200+ funeral homes, coroners, and medical institutions across a wide regional network.
They're currently expanding their team — and the opportunity is high-paced, back-of-house focused, and built for long-term professional growth.


🔥   Why This Role Stands Out:

  • 💰   75-90k annual compensation!
  • ⏰   On-call about 6 nights/month — firefighter-style schedule
  • 📅   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 embalmings/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

If you're looking to get serious about your career — to build something that matters — this is your moment.          📍  Open to all candidates!!!!
Let’s connect.
