Archdiocese of Milwaukee Catholic Cemeteries
Location: Mt Olivet Cemetery

Tired of office work that just moves paper — and want your organization and people skills to actually matter to someone?
Looking for a workplace with values you don't have to leave at the door?
In this job…
- You will be the face and voice of Mt. Olivet Cemetery — often the very first person a family meets and the first sign to them that they've been received, not processed. A good first impression isn't just professionalism here - it's the beginning of genuine accompaniment.
- You will keep the office running as the steady center — coordinating office duties, calls, and details so that all team members are free to be fully present with families. This operations excellence creates the space for ministry to happen.
- You will build real knowledge of cemetery operations — not just to answer questions, but guide families with confidence through the Order of Christian Funerals and the choices in front of them, at a moment when they may not know what to ask.
- Starting wage of $20 per hour
- Full benefits package including insurance options
- Retirement benefits
- Paid time off
