Director of Advance Planning (Pre-Need Funeral Sales)

Entrepreneur & Community Builder | Helping Families Navigate Loss with Care & Dignity

A Meaningful Career With a Progressive, Family-Owned Funeral Provider

For more than three decades, Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services has helped thousands of families plan ahead with confidence, clarity, and compassion. As a family-owned and operated organization, we pride ourselves on offering dignified, affordable, and thoughtful funeral and cremation options across our communities.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking a dedicated, career-minded to join our leadership team as the Director of Advanced Planning. This is a unique opportunity to guide and elevate our pre-need program while directly helping families make some of the most important decisions of their lives.

About the Role

The Director of Advanced Planning is both a leader and a hands‑on contributor. In addition to maintaining their own book of clients, this role is responsible for the development, coaching, and success of our Sales Managers and Advanced Planning Advisors.

You will:

  • Lead, mentor, and support Sales Managers within their communities to help them achieve performance goals and uphold our service standards.
  • Educate team members on the benefits of preplanning and ensure they are fully informed about our programs, products, and value‑driven service model.
  • Develop and implement proactive sales strategies, community seminars, outreach programs, and educational workshops to increase pre‑need awareness and growth.
  • Engage with diverse community groups to better understand their needs, incorporate feedback, and ensure our services remain relevant, accessible, and meaningful.
  • Maintain a friendly, professional presence while problem‑solving and guiding families toward informed decisions.

This is a leadership position that requires the ability to collaborate effectively, communicate with empathy and clarity, and consult with both families and team members at a high level.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who brings:

  • Strong leadership abilities and experience managing or mentoring a sales team
  • A track record of success in pre‑need funeral sales, insurance products, or related advisory roles
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills
  • A friendly, client‑focused approach with the ability to navigate sensitive conversations
  • Strategic thinking paired with the drive to execute and achieve measurable goals
  • The ability to work collaboratively across departments and communities

Compensation & Benefits

We offer a competitive and comprehensive compensation package designed to support your success and well‑being:

  • Competitive Salary with Incentive Compensation Overrides
  • Annual Bonus and/or Performance Incentives
  • Comprehensive Health Benefits: Medical, Dental, and Vision
  • RRSP Joint Contribution Program

This role also includes substantial opportunities for growth, autonomy, and long‑term career development within a progressive, family‑owned organization.

Why Join Us

Alternatives is one of the most progressive, trusted, and community‑rooted funeral providers in British Columbia. When you join us, you join a family—not just a company.

We offer:

  • A respected brand with 30+ years serving families
  • Supportive leadership and a culture grounded in compassion
  • The opportunity to shape and grow a major program within the organization
  • A role that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of families everyday
