Job description

Picture this: you lead a team you’re proud of, you know the families you serve by name, and your weekends involve mountain trails instead of traffic. That’s the job (and the life) waiting for you in Gillette, Wyoming.

• Get out in the community, encourage your associates to do the same, and lead the way on social media

Serve families (about 40%)

• Arrange and conduct services with professionalism and genuine care
• Provide thoughtful aftercare and share pre-need referrals with your Preneed Specialist
• Pitch in on service days: parking, ushering, driving, floral delivery, and whatever else the day needs
• Keep documentation accurate and the facility, vehicles, and supplies in great shape
• Promote a safe, healthy workplace and stay current on licensing requirements
