This is an in‑office role based at the funeral home, focused on guiding families through pre‑planning and funding funeral arrangements before the need arises.
The position blends relationship‑building with community outreach. You’ll follow up on leads, host community workshops, and work closely with funeral home teams and local partners to support advance planning services throughout the community.
Ottawa offers the feel of a close‑knit community with the convenience of being within reach of the Kansas City metro. It has a walkable downtown, strong local schools, and a calendar of community events that keep people connected year‑round. It’s a place where relationships matter, and where this role makes a meaningful, visible impact for families every day.

They must be a licensed insurance agent or have the ability to acquire the necessary licenses. Applicants must enjoy working with people and helping them select from a range of services and merchandise. Basic office and computer skills are a must, and organizational skills and attention to detail are vital to ensure that all arrangements are made to each family’s satisfaction.
