Funeral Director – H.Parsons Group
Location: Illawarra Type: Full-Time
Help families say goodbye, the H.Parsons way.
At H.Parsons, we believe in meaningful farewells. We're not just here to organise funerals — we're here to help people feel heard, supported, and human during one of life's toughest times.
We're on the lookout for someone special. Someone with empathy in their bones, an eye for detail, and a calm, can-do attitude. Someone who wears compassion like a uniform — and maybe even rocks an actual one pretty well too.
What You'll Be Doing
* Guiding families with compassion and clarity from first contact to final farewell.
* Coordinating funeral arrangements — venues, flowers, music, the lot.
* Working with celebrants, clergy, florists, drivers, and other awesome humans.
* Running the service on the day — logistics, timing, support and presence.
* Driving our funeral vehicles with dignity (yes, sometimes the hearse).
* Taking care of important legal documentation and admin.
* Being a warm, calm presence when people need it most.
You'll Thrive In This Role If You…
* Are kind, steady and know how to hold space for others.
* Are confident communicating with people from all walks of life.
* Are comfortable in structured, sensitive environments.
* Can juggle details without dropping the ball (or the flowers).
* Can handle the occasional curveball with grace and calm.
* Have an unrestricted driver's license and a clean record.
* Are happy to work on a weekend roster or after-hours when required.
Bonus Points If You…
* Have experience in events, hospitality, customer care, or funerals.
* Have knowledge of funeral traditions, venues, or logistics.
* Can carry a coffin, soothe a grandparent, and still smile at the end of the day.
What You'll Get From Us
* A meaningful role where every day matters
* Supportive teammates and leaders who have your back
* Ongoing training and opportunities to grow
* A strong, respected brand with deep community roots
* An allocated people and culture budget
* Strong Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
* The feeling that you're making a real difference — because you are.
