Who we are: Who Thrives Here: You’ve spent time in high-stakes environments where people are vulnerable. Maybe you’re a hospice nurse or social worker who’s sat with families facing end-of-life decisions. Maybe you’re a funeral director or mortician who knows how to be calm when people are falling apart. Maybe you worked in emergency medicine, mental health crisis response, or death care. You understand that competence and compassion aren’t separate things — they go together. You can listen without judgment, hold difficult conversations, and keep sensitive information confidential because you know how much it matters.
Elder law is emotional work. Our clients are navigating cognitive decline, family conflict, financial vulnerability, and sometimes exploitation. They call us scared. You won’t make the fear go away, but you can make them feel heard and safe. If that resonates with you, keep reading.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Reality of the Role
You’ll work independently much of the time. The managing attorney is frequently in client meetings, court, depositions, or focused on drafting work. The rest of the team includes virtual assistants and a law clerk — but you may be the only person physically in the office for stretches of time. This isn’t isolation, but it does mean you need to be genuinely comfortable working alone, managing your own workflow, and making judgment calls without someone hovering.
You’re not micromanaged because there’s no time to micromanage. You’re trusted to use good judgment, ask questions when you’re stuck, and own your work. The attorney is available for questions and you’ll have regular check-ins — but the day-to-day rhythm of the role is independent.
If you need constant feedback, frequent check-ins, or a busy office full of coworkers to feel engaged, this won’t be a good fit. If you’re energized by autonomy, trust, and the quiet focus of working independently — and you’ve done it before in a healthcare, caregiving, or death care setting — you’ll thrive here.

Where we are: About Sauber Legal Services LLC: We are a boutique elder law firm practicing in estate and tax planning, Medicaid and long-term care planning, probate, guardianship and conservatorship, special needs planning, financial exploitation, and litigation in those areas. Our managing attorney is one of only two Certified Elder Law Attorneys in Minnesota. We are a small team that values integrity, continuous improvement, and direct client service. Our work is challenging, meaningful, and never routine.

Requirements & Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree is a plus
• Experience in a high-stakes, high-emotion, confidentiality-driven environment
• Ability to type at least 50 WPM
• Must be located within 50 miles of Eden Prairie, MN, or willing to relocate — this is not a remote position
• Willing to submit to a background check
• Experience with legal software or case management systems is a plus but not required — willingness to learn is required
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What We’re Looking For
• Background in nursing, hospice, social work, funeral services, mental health crisis work, death care, or similar high-stakes caregiving — or equivalent experience working with people in crisis
• High emotional intelligence — you can read a room, de-escalate tension, and sit with someone else’s pain without absorbing it or shutting down
• Comfort working independently for extended periods without supervision or coworkers present
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Tech-savvy and comfortable learning cloud-based systems (Clio, Dropbox, Adobe Sign, Microsoft Office)
• Self-starter who solves problems before they become crises and asks clarifying questions rather than guessing
• Reliable, trustworthy, and discreet with confidential information
• Honest — you admit mistakes, you don’t make excuses, and you tell the truth even when it’s uncomfortable
• Radical candor — you give and receive honest feedback constructively
• A sense of humor — this work is heavy and we need to be able to laugh.

Compensation & Benefits:

• $22–$27 per hour, commensurate with experience
• Four-day work week: Monday through Thursday, 8 AM to 6 PM
• 401(k) with employer matching
• Regular check-ins and structured feedback so you always know where you stand
• A small team where your work directly impacts client outcomes — you’re not a cog in a machine
• Rare opportunity to learn elder law from one of only two certified elder law attorneys in Minnesota
• A culture that values honesty, integrity, and taking care of each other
• Soda, water, snacks, and firm lunches when the schedule allows.

Who we are: Anderson Family Funeral Homes is looking for 2 Funeral Directors to join us. We are interested in Experienced Funeral Directors who are looking for a change, as well as Newly Licensed Directors and Students preparing to enter the profession. We believe the right person, regardless of where they are in their career, can thrive in a supportive environment alongside experienced colleagues. For years, our team worked primarily from two offices. As we have recently grown and expanded the communities we serve, we have reached the point where we need to add a couple of fun, competent, compassionate people to help us continue what we have built. We are a family-owned funeral home, and our staff is truly a mix of family and friends working together. We are professional when it matters, and it always matters, but we laugh a lot, help one another, and work as a team. Most importantly (contrary to some firms) we believe in putting our own families first, followed closely by the families we are privileged to serve. Yes, Funeral Service is demanding career but there must be a true work-life balance in order to be happy and thrive in this profession.
If you have experience, that’s awesome, but if you are new to the profession…you don't have to know everything when you arrive. Our experienced directors are happy to teach, answer questions, share what has worked for us, and help you become confident in every part of funeral service. At the same time, we want to learn from you. Bring us the new ideas, technology, techniques, and perspectives you're learning in school or from your previous positions. Help us improve our systems and continue moving forward. We are a place where we learn from each other.
Our staffed locations are all within approximately 30 minutes of one another, giving our directors the opportunity to work with a diverse range of families, traditions, and services while still having support. We place a strong emphasis on personalization and exceptional service. We don't want funerals to feel routine or families to feel like a number. We take the time to learn who someone was and help their family create a service that genuinely reflects their life. We understand that after years in funeral service, the quality of your work environment matters. And if you’re just beginning your career, we understand that having the right people around you matters just as much.
Where we are: Come for the Career. Stay for the Lifestyle. We'll Help Make Northwestern Minnesota Feel Like Home. After deciding this is the perfect fit, the right candidate will need to relocate to live within 30 minutes of one of our funeral home locations. With several communities to choose from, you can find the place that fits you, whether that means a small hometown, a larger regional community, a lakeside cabin, or a hobby farm. Moving for a job is a big decision. We understand that you're not just choosing a funeral home, you're choosing a community and a place to build your life. We love our towns! We'll help you get settled, introduce you to people, help you make connections and friendships, and show you what our communities have to offer. Our communities sit at the crossroads of the Red River Valley and Minnesota’s Lakes Country, conveniently located between Fargo, Grand Forks, Detroit Lakes, and Bemidji. This is a place where you can slow down without giving up the amenities you enjoy. Imagine finishing your work week and heading to the lake, spending a fall weekend hunting, launching a kayak on a quiet morning, joining a book or wine club, attending a community event, cheering on a local team, or simply enjoying more time with family and new friends. The communities we serve offer excellent schools, churches, in-home daycares, community organizations, local events, outdoor recreation, and the opportunity to know the people you serve, not just their names on a file. And unlike many rural opportunities, you won’t be practicing funeral service alone. You’ll have other funeral directors and an amazing support team beside you.
Requirements & Qualifications: We aren't looking for someone to simply fill a position. We're looking for two directors who bring compassion, professionalism, and a have a willingness to work collaboratively, who will grow with us, teach us a few things, learn a few things from us, and serve families exceptionally well, while still having time to enjoy their own family and friends. Minnesota licensure is required or must be obtainable, and the successful candidates must be willing to obtain North Dakota licensure as well. Students currently in Mortuary Science and those seeking an internship are also welcome to apply.
Compensation & Benefits:
You’ll have:
•    A customizable shared on-call rotation with 3-4 other funeral directors plus TCS
•    Outstanding and dependable support staff
•    A balanced combination of cremation and traditional burial service experiences
•    Professional independence in a collaborative environment
•    Opportunities for leadership and management
•    Support and mentorship for newly licensed funeral directors beginning their careers
•    Competitive compensation, based on experience
•    Temporary Housing and Relocation benefits
•    Full Benefits Package including Health, HSA, Retirement match, Vacation, Cell Phone, Gym & Community memberships, Clothing allowance, and more
•    The opportunity to build meaningful relationships within the communities you serve
