Careers
Are you detail orientated, outgoing, a people person, and have a passion for helping others and caring for your community? Then funeral services may be the career path for you.
It allows you the opportunity to give back to your community by caring for loved ones and their families during the most difficult days of their life. We provide guidance and professionalism, while helping the community grieve.
We honour, celebrate, and pay tribute to their loved one’s life, providing families with closure and comfort. That is truly the most important part of what we do. This profession takes commitment, dedication, and a compassionate heart to serve those around us. Funeral Service is an extremely important and rewarding vocation.
We are proud to call ourselves Funeral Directors and Embalmers.
