The main work schedule has been 4 days per week (m-f w/ rotating day off, 9am-4pm); currently directors are on call about 1 weekend a month and an additional 2 weeknights per month.  This has been affected a bit by the pandemic- for now, week-days off are in blocks, and there are rotating weeks that directors work from home.    

We are in the midway of St. Paul, but serve the greater Twin Cities, providing mostly direct cremation services.  

A qualified candidate would be enthusiastic and self-motivated, possess good communication skills, be computer and internet savvy.  Must have a MN license (or be in the internship stage of licensing) and having a WI license is a plus.
