Job description

NorthStar Memorial Group is seeking an experienced and compassionate Funeral Director to join our team at San Jacinto Funeral Home in Houston, Texas. This is an opportunity for a professional who takes pride in serving families, takes initiative without being asked, follows through on commitments, and can confidently manage the many details involved in funeral service.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as a trusted source of support, guidance, and direction for families before, during, and after the loss of a loved one.
• Take ownership of arrangements and coordinate the details necessary to provide a meaningful, seamless experience for each family.
• Coordinate, assist with, and carry out all aspects of funeral services, visitations, ceremonies, burials, cremations, and final memorialization.
• Communicate clearly and compassionately with families, clergy, cemeteries, crematories, vendors, and other service partners.
• Anticipate needs, identify potential issues, and take initiative to resolve them before they affect the family or service.
• Maintain accurate documentation and ensure arrangements are completed thoroughly and on schedule.
• Work collaboratively with the funeral home team while also demonstrating the ability to work independently and make sound decisions.
• Adhere to all applicable professional, municipal, state, and federal laws, regulations, licensing requirements, and funeral service standards.
• Maintain the highest standards of care, professionalism, confidentiality, and respect for the deceased and their families.

What We’re Looking For

• Licensed Funeral Director in Texas or eligible for Texas reciprocity.
• Previous funeral service experience strongly preferred.
• Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred.
• Ability to work effectively as part of a team while confidently handling responsibilities independently.
