Pre-Need Agent Funeral Home

**Funeral Home Pre-Need Agent**

**Clark Funeral Homes is seeking a career-minded, relationship-focused Pre-Need Agent to help families throughout Southwest Missouri plan ahead with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.**

Pre-planning a funeral is about much more than making arrangements. It is about helping people make thoughtful decisions today that can bring comfort and relieve difficult decisions for their families tomorrow.

This is an opportunity for the right individual to build a long-term career while making a genuine difference in the lives of the families we serve. We are looking for someone who understands the importance of building trust, communicating with people, developing relationships, and representing Clark Funeral Homes with professionalism, compassion, and integrity.

The ideal candidate will have strong sales and marketing experience, excellent communication and organizational skills, dependable follow-up habits, and a working knowledge of insurance terminology and related processes. This individual should be comfortable working independently, developing relationships within the community, and taking ownership of growing our pre-need program while working closely with the Clark Funeral Homes team.

Proactively schedule and conduct appointments with clients at Clark Funeral Homes locations in Neosho or Granby, as well as through webinar appointments when appropriate.
