Position at R.S. Lewis and Sons Funeral Homes

Quality leads you can trust so you can earn what you want.

You’re an ambitious professional who always strives to hit your goals. But, without qualified leads and community connections, are those goals even possible?  

Imagine what you could do with a dedicated team supporting your efforts with qualified leads, appointment setting, and strategic marketing resources!

What you’ll do (and why you’ll love doing it)
  • Make what you want: Earn competitive compensation that you control by closing pre-set appointments (typical average of $75,000-$80,000/annually with no earning cap)
  • Capitalize on our support: Lead generation programs and strategic marketing programs provided at no cost –  you’ll be representing one of our premier funeral home partners in qualified meetings with clients that typically last 90 mins.
  • Experience recognition of a lifetime: Precoa Escapes Sales Incentive Trips for you and your family
  • Advance your career: A current life insurance license or ability to obtain one will give you professional credentials to use now and in the future
Be independent, not alone

As an Advance Funeral Planner, you have a dedicated team of over 50 agents setting appointments and helping you know as much as possible about your clients.  Precoa’s field management provides you with organizational tools, mentorship, and coaching to succeed in a unique and growing industry.  

You can focus on what you do best - connecting with clients to plan their final wishes and provide peace of mind for their loved ones.

About Us

For more than a century, R.S. Lewis & Sons Funeral Home has been a trusted part of the Memphis community, serving families with compassion, dignity, and deep personal care.

Today, that legacy continues under the leadership of the Burroughs family and a dedicated team committed to putting families first. With strong ties to the community, a history of civic leadership, and a reputation for meaningful, high-quality service, R.S. Lewis & Sons offers an opportunity to be part of work that truly matters every day.
