Funeral Service Operative - Casual Hours

Joseph O'Connell Funeral Service | Crewe Salary: £12.71 per hour hours: Variable / Casual


About Us

At Funeral Partners, we offer a sensitive, professional service to families in our care, setting new standards in funeral excellence.


The Opportunity

Joseph O'Connell Funeral Service in Crewe is seeking casual Funeral Service Operatives with flexible hours.

This role is perfect for those who want to work around other commitments.


What You’ll Do

Funeral Operatives are the most integral part of our service, often the first team members families meet. You will:

  • Work in mortuary operations, including coffin preparation, dressing the deceased, and assisting with palls.
  • Attend and support funeral services, including pallbearing.
  • Drive company vehicles (full driving licence required).
  • Work variable hours, including out-of-hours and on-call duties, earning additional payments.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
