Funeral Attendant
Funeral Attendant
Memorial Funeral Home | Newport & Portsmouth |Part-Time
Starting at $17/hour
Who You Are
You're dependable, compassionate, and comfortable with a day that doesn't always go as planned. You like variety. You notice what needs doing before someone asks you to do it. And you're steady enough to support a family on one of the hardest days of their lives, then turn around and help set up chairs for the next service an hour later.
This role moves. Some days are predictable. Others change by the minute. If that sounds stressful, this might not be the right fit. If it sounds like the kind of work where you can put your instincts to use, keep reading.
Tell us about a time you saw something that needed doing, even though no one told you to do it, and you just did it. That instinct is most of this job.
What You'll Do
- Welcome and guide guests during calling hours and funeral or memorial services
- Assist with setup of flowers, photos, and memorial displays
- Keep public areas tidy and presentable
- Help with parking, ushering, and driving funeral home vehicles
- Run light errands and answer phones
- Support funeral directors with whatever helps the day run smoothly
What This Actually Involves
- Workdays can start as early as 6:30am or run as late as 10pm
- Flexible availability for early mornings, evenings, and occasional holidays
- Some outdoor work in all weather, directing traffic, or lining up a procession
- Ability to lift, up to 50 lbs. safely (flowers, furniture, and occasionally a casket)
- A valid driver's license and a clean driving record
No previous funeral experience necessary. We'll teach you the rest.
If you're someone who shows up, pays attention, and genuinely cares, we'd love to meet you. Send us a resume or just reach out and tell us why this kind of work appeals to you.
