Choosing a memorial for a loved one can feel overwhelming. Most families do not know where to begin. That is where you come in.

As a Memorial Sales Consultant, your role is not about high-pressure sales. It is about helping people during an emotional and important moment in life. You will sit down with families, listen to their stories, understand what matters most to them, and guide them through the process of creating a lasting memorial that honors a life and brings comfort to those left behind.

We are looking for someone with exceptional people skills, emotional awareness, and a genuine desire to help others. The right person may come from retail, hospitality, customer service, caregiving, banking, or another role where building trust and making people feel cared for is essential. We can train the right person in our products and sales process. What matters most is your ability to connect with people.

What We Are Looking For

• Strong communication and listening skills

• A self-motivated and dependable work style

• Comfort using computers and learning software systems

• A desire to learn; we can train the right person in memorial products and consultative sales

What You Will Do

Guide Families with Compassion

Meet with families in person, listen carefully to their needs, and help them make thoughtful decisions about cemetery memorials. You will explain options clearly, answer questions patiently, and help families feel at ease throughout the process.

Build Trusting Relationships

Create meaningful connections with clients by following through, communicating well, and providing support from the first meeting to the completion of the memorial order.

Help People Make Important Decisions

Educate families on memorial options ranging from simple markers to custom monuments, always balancing their wishes, their budget, and the significance of the memorial.

Use Technology

Work within Office 365, HubSpot, and our internal systems to manage client information, coordinate next steps, and communicate with the team efficiently.

Follow Up with Care and Consistency

Maintain thoughtful follow-up with prospective families who have not yet made a decision, continuing to provide guidance and support throughout the decision-making process. Follow up with customers after the sale to help ensure orders move forward accurately, efficiently, and on time, while coordinating with the office and production team as needed.

Represent the Company in the Community

Attend Chamber events, community gatherings, and similar functions as a professional representative of the company. Build authentic relationships in the community and help strengthen awareness, trust, and goodwill toward the company.

Contribute to a Team That Serves Well

Depending on your skills and interests, you may also have opportunities to support other areas of the business such as marketing, design coordination, administration, or relationship development.

Experience That Helps, But Is Not Required

Customer-Facing Backgrounds Welcome

We welcome applicants from customer-facing backgrounds such as retail, hospitality, banking, customer service, reception/front desk, and caregiving or other service-oriented work.
