We are looking for Managing Partner at our Greenlawn SW Cemetery, Bakersfield, California. We’re looking for a high-caliber leader ready to take full ownership of a well-established, high-performing location. This is not a traditional management role—this is an opportunity to run a business, shape a team, and directly influence growth, culture, and community impact.

Lead a Business. Build a Legacy. Make an Impact.

At Carriage Services, we’re transforming what service looks like in the funeral and cemetery profession—elevating standards, empowering leaders, and creating meaningful experiences for the families we serve.

Location: Greenlawn Southwest Cemetery

Preferably or ability to obtain within year one:

• CA Cemetery Manager License
• CA Crematory Manager License
• CA Cemetery Broker’s License

Why This Role Stands Out

• True ownership mindset — lead the business as if it’s your own

• High earning potential — strong base + performance-driven incentives

• Visible impact — your leadership directly shapes the team, client experience, and community presence

• Growth trajectory — expand your leadership influence in a performance-driven organization

What You’ll Own

You will lead all aspects of operations for a successful funeral home and cemetery—driving performance, developing people, and ensuring every family receives exceptional, ethical, and personalized care.
