About Serenity Transfer Service

Serenity Transfer Service Ltd. is British Columbia's trusted provider of professional deceased transfer services, partnering with hospitals, care facilities, provincial agencies, and funeral homes since 2019. We operate with three core values: Dignity, Excellence, and Common Good.

We are seeking a composed, organized, and mission-driven individual to serve in a dual-capacity role as Interior Regional Manager/On-Call Body Removal Technician.

In addition, you will participate directly in decedent transfers, bringing dignity and professionalism to every call .

This role requires strong leadership skills, emotional maturity, excellent communication, and the ability to remain calm and grounded in sensitive and challenging environments. The flexibility to travel and remain in another region with limited notice for extended periods when operational needs arise is a must.
