Cemetery Family Service Associate ~ Mount Hope

Are you passionate about making a meaningful impact on people’s lives? Join our team as a Preplanning Associate at our cemeteries in Topeka, KS. While working in a cemetery might seem unusual, the role is vital and deeply rewarding. Our sales associates play a crucial part in helping families make important advance and at-need arrangements. We seek individuals who embody our Core Values of Excellence, Trust, Care, and Growth.

Mount Hope is a 120-acre property with burial gardens, a community mausoleum and dozens of unique columbarium and cremation options. At the heart of the cemetery is a large chapel for funerals, memorial ceremonies and community events, and features a breathtaking wall of stained glass windows and a beautifully-landscaped courtyard.

Advance planning sales activities at our cemetery are supported by a program of community events that includes a Memorial Day ceremony, a holiday remembrance ceremony in December and various events throughout the year.

This sales position provides a base salary, commissions, bonuses and benefits. Successful team members are great communicators, organized and detail-oriented and treat others with dignity and respect. They utilize tools provided by the company to generate sales and have the ability to generate their own leads. They also develop positive relationships with local organizations and build referral networks.
 

Team members are expected to work safely and stay organized, following all state and local regulations along with company policies. We take pride in our well-maintained facilities and grounds, and everyone plays a role in keeping them in excellent condition for families.

If you enjoy sales and want to help families gain peace of mind through completing final arrangements, we’d love to speak with you.
