Funeral Director/Embalmer job at Gpac Davenport, IA, US

Job Description

If you're a licensed embalmer, funeral director, or mortuary science student ready to elevate your career - this is your shot at something bigger.

We're working with a rapidly growing embalming, transport, and cremation service that supports over 200+ funeral homes, coroners, and medical institutions across a wide regional network. They're currently expanding their team - and the opportunity is high-paced, back-of-house focused , and built for long-term professional growth.

Why This Role Stands Out:

$60K - 100K compensation (yes, some staff are already earning 6 figures)
⏰ On-call about 6 nights/month - firefighter-style schedule
Every other weekend is a 3- or 4-day weekend ♂️
No travel required - work is entirely based in one central, well-equipped facility
Hands-on experience with complex, high-skill cases
Clean, modern facility with top-of-the-line HVAC and prep environment
Future ownership/succession potential for the right long-term fit
Ongoing mentorship in advanced skills like facial reconstruction
Positive, growth-oriented workplace culture - mentoring matters here

Annual Volume:

~1,500 cremations/year
⚰️ ~1,100 embalming's/year

This isn't your average funeral home role - this is a high-volume, high-skill environment where you'll refine your craft and work with a team that values quality, consistency, and care. ✅ Who They're Looking For:

Licensed embalmers (or students/apprentices ready to grow)
Detail-driven, dependable, calm under pressure
Comfortable in a fast-moving, back-of-house setting
Open to relocating to a safe, affordable, and growing Midwest city
Ready to join a mission-driven team with long-term vision

If you're looking to get serious about your career - to build something that matters - this is your moment. Let's connect.
