The Opportunity

Based at Huddersfield Funeral Home - Huddersfield, our Funeral Service Operatives are calm, professional and play a vital role in our service. They are often the first members of the team to meet our families. A good Funeral Service Operative will be able to provide reassurance to families that we will take good care of their loved ones whilst we prepare them for their final journey.

Your duties will include driving company vehicles, so you’ll need a full driving licence. You’ll also have a place on the out of hours, and on call rota, which will provide an opportunity to earn additional payments.
