Job description

Brief Description

Forest Lawn’s Planning Advisors (Outside Sales Representatives) help families make important decisions ahead of time rather than having to make them when a death occurs.

In addition, Forest Lawn provides extensive training to our Planning Advisors, so they can share the many benefits of preplanning to families throughout Southern California, all while earning a great income.
