Family Services Specialist; Customer Support

About Earth

At Earth, we believe how we say farewell matters. Our mission is to transform the end-of-life experience by offering families a beautiful, sustainable alternative to cremation and burial.

Instead of traditional methods that harm the environment, our gentle, natural process transforms the body into nutrient-rich soil in just 45 days - returning life to the earth and leaving a meaningful legacy.

Families can choose to receive the soil to scatter, plant, or share, while the remainder is thoughtfully donated to conservation projects that restore and heal our planet. First legalized in Washington State in 2019, this practice is rapidly gaining popularity nationwide. Earth is the national leader, backed by major investors, and growing fast.

That's where you come in. We're looking for dedicated, empathetic team members to support families who have chosen Earth for their end-of-life arrangements. At Earth, you'll join a professional, passionate team, supporting a truly mission-driven company scale nationally.
