Funeral Arranger Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a funeral arranger in Texas?
To work as a licensed funeral arranger in Texas you must obtain a Funeral Director license through the Texas Funeral Service Commission, which requires completing an accredited mortuary science program, passing the National Board Examination, and fulfilling a supervised apprenticeship. Some employers hire unlicensed arrangement counselors to handle pre-need sales and family consultations while candidates complete licensing requirements, making that a practical entry path.
How much do funeral arrangers make in Texas?
Funeral arrangers in Texas earn a median of about $46,630 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $24,120 for the lowest 10% to over $62,070 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire funeral arrangers in Texas?
Employers hiring funeral arrangers in Texas right now include Sci Shared Resources, Park Lawn Corporation, and Service Corporation International, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's size and population diversity make it one of the most active states for funeral service hiring, with openings spread across large corporate operators and locally rooted independent funeral homes.
Which Texas cities have the most funeral arranger jobs?
Bryan, Dallas, and Georgetown consistently have the most funeral arranger openings in Texas, driven by sheer population size and the concentration of large regional operators and corporate funeral service networks headquartered or heavily staffed in those metro areas, with suburban growth around each city also generating steady demand at community funeral homes.
Are there remote funeral arranger jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of funeral arranger openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the fundamentally in-person nature of the role. The portions most suited to remote work are pre-need consultations conducted by phone or video and administrative paperwork, while family arrangement meetings and on-site coordination remain in-person obligations.
How can I get hired as a funeral arranger in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a funeral home apprentice or arrangement assistant position while enrolled in or shortly after completing an accredited mortuary science program, such as those offered at Dallas Institute of Funeral Service or San Antonio College. Large Texas operators like Service Corporation International and Dignity Memorial regularly bring on apprentice funeral directors who support licensed arrangers, handling family intake, paperwork, and pre-need follow-up while building toward full licensure through the Texas Funeral Service Commission.
Where can I find and apply to funeral arranger jobs in Texas?
