Funeral Director jobs

Who is Bare

Bare is Australia's most highly rated end-of-life business, and we're now bringing what we do to Canada, starting in Ontario.

We provide accessible, affordable end-of-life care that changes the way people deal with death. The funeral industry has long offered expensive, traditional, cookie-cutter services that don't always meet the needs of modern families. We think there's a better way.

By combining empathy with technology, we create end-of-life experiences that are simple, personal and affordable. In only five years we've supported more than 50,000 families in Australia, become Australia's most awarded end-of-life provider (with awards in customer service, innovation and digital disruption), and built a team of more than 200 people.

Canada is our next chapter, and you'd be one of the first people helping families here. It's a rare chance to shape how a company works from day one.

So what is the role, exactly?

This is a remote, phone-based role focused on direct cremation. You'll work directly with families across Ontario, showing them you care and then arranging and communicating every step of the process. From time to time you'll also step out from behind the phone: leading a small service yourself, or personally returning a loved one's ashes to their family.

What would my day to day look like?

• answering inbound calls from families with questions about their arrangements
• guiding families through direct cremation, from first call through to the return of ashes
• completing and checking the documentation each arrangement requires, accurately and on time
• proactively updating families on where their arrangements are up to
• actively listening, giving families the time and space to share their grief with someone they trust
• coordinating logistics with our care partners, crematoriums and other providers

• conducting a simple service or gathering for a family who'd like one
• hand-delivering cremated remains to families

You'll work with a small, growing team in Canada, backed by the experience and systems of our Australian team.

Who are we looking for?

• a current Funeral Director licence (Class 1 or Class 2) with the Bereavement Authority of Ontario, in good standing
• to be based in Ontario, outside the Greater Toronto Area
• a valid driver's licence and the ability to travel occasionally for services and ashes returns
• a genuine love of supporting people from all walks of life with empathy
• comfort giving thoughtful, non-judgmental guidance to people who need it
• the ability to take the lead in a conversation and become a trusted advisor
• the ability to work in a fast-paced environment
• comfort with technology, following processes, and working independently from home

Most importantly, we want someone who believes in our mission. Everyone at Bare is driven by the impact of what we do, and we want that to continue with every person who joins us.

What's in it for me?

• a salary of CAD $80,000 to $90,000
• fully remote work from anywhere in Ontario outside the GTA, with plenty of autonomy and trust
• a ground-floor role in Bare's Canadian launch, with real room to grow as the team does
• a friendly, supportive team of people who genuinely love what they do
• the chance to make an impact at one of the most critical moments in someone's life

The main reason you'll join, though, is because you believe in what we do and are excited to transform an industry.
