Crematory Operator

East Tennessee Cremation Company, owned and operated by The Independent Funeral Group, is a third-party crematory in Maryville, TN, just outside Knoxville, that performs over 4,200 cremations per year. We are seeking 1 to 2 Licensed Funeral Apprentices and/or Licensed Funeral Directors/Embalmers to train for positions as Crematory Operators. Prior knowledge of the cremation process is less important than a willingness to learn. Individuals should be highly motivated to work in a high volume, fast-paced crematory environment, be able to communicate and work collectively with a team, and develop a good, professional working relationship with our funeral home customers and staff. East Tennessee Cremation Company prides itself on providing a positive and encouraging work environment, with a small but closely cooperative staff and leadership on-site for support.

Individuals will be responsible for properly receiving human remains into our care and custody, caring for the deceased through the entire cremation process, and returning cremated remains to the authorized person(s), according to company procedures and applicable Federal, State, and Municipal regulations. Job duties must be performed with company values and missions in mind, and adherence to company policies, procedures and ethical codes.
