Funeral Arranger Full-Time (East Sacramento)

Description

Looking for work that actually means something?

At East Lawn, we help people through some of the most emotional and significant moments of their lives. As a Funeral Arranger or Director, you’ll be the steady, knowledgeable presence that helps families make informed decisions, navigate complex logistics, and feel supported every step of the way.

• Meeting with families to plan services that reflect their loved one’s life
• Coordinating with clergy, vendors, and internal staff to ensure every detail is handled
• Managing legal documentation like death certificates, permits, and insurance paperwork
• Organizing transportation, service flow, and product selections (urns, caskets, etc.)
• Supporting pre-arrangement planning and helping people make decisions ahead of time
• Being present and involved on the day of services—ensuring things go smoothly, from start to finish

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience in funeral service or a related field
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Ability to work independently and follow through on tasks
• Confidence working with people in emotionally sensitive moments
• Tech-savvy enough to manage documents, emails, scheduling, and video presentations
• A calm presence, good judgment, and attention to detail
• Available to work any seven days of the week, including weekends and holidays

Required

• Funeral Arranger Certificate or willingness to obtain
• Valid CA driver’s license with clean driving record
