Be Part of Something Meaningful
At Minnesota Cremation Services, we believe families deserve more. More compassion. More personal attention. More care during one of the most difficult moments of their lives.
We're a locally owned, woman-owned and operated cremation provider built around a simple belief: every person deserves to be treated with dignity, and every family deserves to feel genuinely cared for.
That belief guides everything we do, from the first phone call to the moment someone's loved one is brought into our care.
We're growing, and we're looking for dependable, compassionate people who share our values and want to be part of a team that takes pride in doing things the right way.

You will work alongside a Licensed Funeral Director or Licensed Transfer Care Specialist, assisting with bringing loved ones into our care from private residences, hospitals, nursing homes, hospice facilities, and other locations.
You may be entering someone's home during one of the hardest nights of their life. Your calm presence, professionalism, and compassion can make a lasting difference.
