Position Summary:
Serving the greater Columbus community for nearly 100 years we know that the work we do matters. Every family who walks through our doors places an extraordinary amount of trust with us during one of the hardest moments of their lives. As a progressive family-owned funeral home we are looking for a compassionate and detail-oriented individual to join our team either as a Dual Licensed Individual in the State of Ohio or as an Apprentice to be a Dual Licensed Individual for a licensed Funeral Director

We’re hoping to welcome someone who truly cares about people, takes pride in their work, and wants to be part of a supportive, close-knit team. If you’re the kind of person who believes funeral service is more than a job — it’s a way to serve others — you’ll feel at home here.

We currently have four locations, serving several communities in and around Columbus, Ohio area. You will be involved in various aspects of funeral service and will be expected to service a very diverse community. You must be able to communicate effectively; manage relationships with those you serve and work with while also handling the pressures of managing details within our ever-changing profession.

Key Responsibilities:

Family Care: Meet with families, listen to their stories, and help them create meaningful services that honor their loved ones. Coordinate with third parties to carry out selected services with attention to detail.
Embalming & Preparation: Perform embalming, dressing, cosmetics, and casketing of the deceased with the highest standard of professionalism.
Funeral Direction: Prepare, coordinate and carryout visitations, funeral/memorial services, and graveside services. Including both pre and post event preparation and cleaning.
Administrative Compliance: Follow administrative policies and procedures related to the deceased, and ensure that all required paperwork (death certificates, permits, authorizations, etc) are completed accurately and in a timely manner
Phone Candor: Professionally handle phone calls with attention to detail and ability to provide information to callers.
Facility Maintenance: Ensure the preparation room, vehicles, and funeral home facilities are maintained to high cleanliness standards.
