How to start working in a cemetery?

To start working in a cemetery, research local cemeteries or funeral service providers and inquire about job openings such as groundskeeper, maintenance worker, or funeral assistant. Typically, relevant skills include physical stamina, attention to detail, and sometimes a high school diploma or equivalent; some roles may require specific certifications or training. Applying directly, submitting a resume, and demonstrating reliability are common steps to begin employment in this field.

Job description

Cemetery Sales & Operations Manager - Bilingual Spanish speaking

Location: North Bergen, New Jersey
Compensation: $80,000 Base + Commission & Bonus $120,000-$150,000

Lead with Purpose — Build with Pride

We’re hiring a Cemetery Sales & Operations Manager to lead grave and Mausoleum crypt sales while also managing daily cemetery & Crematory operations across three sites in North Bergen.

This is a high-impact leadership role ideal for a motivated, organized, and compassionate professional who can sell with integrity and manage with discipline. This is not an entry-level role.

If you're experienced in cemetery sales or direct-to-family services and want to grow something meaningful, this is your opportunity.

What You’ll Do

Sales Leadership

  • Drive both pre-need and at-need cemetery sales.
  • Work directly with families to provide meaningful, lasting cemetery solutions.
  • Train and support five employees and hold them accountable to performance.

Cemetery Operations Oversight

  • Manage day-to-day cemetery functions across 3 sites, including:
    • Landscaping & grounds maintenance
    • Grave opening & closing logistics
    • Burial and monument setup coordination
    • Manage the High volume crematorium
  • Ensure high standards of care and compliance with all regulations.

Customer Experience Excellence

  • Provide outstanding service and professionalism to families in their time of need.
  • Represent the company with compassion, respect, and clarity at every touchpoint.

Who We’re Looking For

✅ At least 5 years of experience in cemetery sales, or related direct-to-consumer services
✅ Proven track record of personally closing high-value, person-to-person deals
✅ Strong leadership skills and ability to manage teams and contractors across multiple locations
✅ Hands-on operations experience — you're comfortable being in the field as well as in the office
✅ Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build and scale new service offerings
✅ Emotionally intelligent communicator with strong customer service instincts

Why This Role Stands Out

✔ Competitive Salary + Performance Pay
✔ Oversee 3 Cemeteries with established teams and systems
✔ Be part of a mission-driven business that supports families in their most personal decisions
✔ Real autonomy, visible impact, and meaningful leadership

Not Just a Job — A Career with Legacy

If you’re not a closer, not hands-on, or not confident managing both sales and operations — this isn’t the role for you.

But if you’re ready to lead, grow, and make a difference, we want to hear from you.

Apply now with your résumé and a short cover letter showing your experience and results in similar roles.
