Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about working at NorthStar.

Our culture is rooted in PACT — the core values that guide how we serve families and how we show up for one another. PACT stands for: Passion, Accountability, Caring & Teamwork. These are not just words on a wall. They shape how we make decisions, support families, collaborate across locations, and grow our careers. You’ll see PACT reflected in how leaders coach, how teams communicate, and how we measure success.

Not always. Many roles, especially in sales, administration, and support, do not require funeral profession experience. We value transferable skills, empathy, and a willingness to learn.

We invest in our people. Training varies by role but may include blended learning, hands-on mentorship, digital resources, and structured onboarding. Our goal is to help you feel confident, supported, and prepared for success.

Many of our leaders and long-tenured employees started in entry or mid-level roles. We believe in internal growth, skill development, and creating pathways for people who want to build a long-term career with us.

Our culture is built on care, respect, accountability, and teamwork. We take our work seriously — but we also value humanity, balance, and supporting one another.

If you’re drawn to meaningful work, value stability and growth, and want to be part of something bigger than yourself — you’re likely in the right place.
