Celestial Memorial Gardens

Celestial Memorial Gardens Celestial Memorial Gardens is one of the few family owned and operated cemeteries in this area. We are conveniently located just off US 1, on Delree Street.

Celestial Memorial Gardens and Mausoleum is Columbia’s most accommodating cemetery. This beautiful park was founded in 1963, by the late Duke Newton. Celestial remains one of the few family owned and operated perpetual care cemeteries in the Columbia area. Celestial is situated on a 47 acre tract of land, easily accessible to our Columbia area residents. At this time, only 15 acres are developed,

leaving 32 acres for future development. We have space availability in our established gardens and mausoleums. The availability of so much property allows families to establish a burial estate for current and future generations, which helps maintain your family’s heritage. When choosing Celestial as your final resting place you’ll find many options: Private Estates, Mausoleum Entombment, Traditional Ground Burial and Cremation Niches, Bench Entombment or Ground Burial. Celestial consists of several gardens that are separated by the type of memorial in that garden. Celestial also has a beautiful veterans garden that recognizes all branches of service. Making cemetery arrangements prior to a death actually occurring comes with its benefits: ability to reason, choice selection, terms customized to fit your budget, in-house financing, with no credit checks and interest free options. Our families receive lower prices through pre-need discounts. We offer protection of your loved ones' burial needs, as well as a Family Protection Plan. This all leads to our valued families having peace of mind. Someday everyone will eventually have to face the purchasing of cemetery property, merchandise and services. It is easier, kinder and more economical to do it together, before the need occurs. We are dedicated community servants who provide compassionate assistance, with dignity, integrity, honesty and respect to all our families in need. While reaching out to families offering the benefits of prearrangement. We offer a free burial space, honoring veterans and first responders.

INTEGRITY GROUP

Celebrating 25 Years of Leadership, Service & Stewardship

For 25 years, Integrity Group has served families and communities through locally operated cemeteries with a commitment to leadership, service, stewardship, and long-term care.



At the heart of that commitment is our Standard of Care:

Serving Families One Conversation at a Time.

Family Service Counselor

Celestial Memorial Gardens - West Columbia, South Carolina



Full-Time | Cemetery Sales | Pre-Need & At-Need Family Service

$13.00 Per Hour PLUS Commission, $65,000 - $100,000+ Annual Earning Opportunity

Integrity Group intentionally structures Family Service Counselor compensation differently.

Starting Base Compensation: $13.00 per hour PLUS earned commissions PLUS performance bonuses.

The hourly wage is paid in addition to commission. It is not a draw against commissions and does not disappear when commissions are earned.

Based on 2,080 hours annually, the hourly foundation alone is approximately $27,040 per year before commissions and bonuses.

For a counselor who consistently serves families, develops relationships, follows up, and produces, historically an annual income of $65,000 – $100,000+ is a realistic earning opportunity. Exceptional performance can create additional upside.

Actual earnings vary based on production, the mix of cemetery property, merchandise and services selected by families, payment terms, and individual performance. There is no guarantee of a specific level of commissions or total annual compensation.



Benefits

In addition to hourly compensation, commissions, and performance opportunities, Integrity Group provides:

Two weeks paid vacation after one year of employment
IRA with company match up to 3% of income** after completion of the 90-day introductory period, with no vesting period
Health insurance assistance - Integrity Group pays 50% of the employee's individual health insurance premium, up to $500 per month
Seven paid days of choice, allowing employees flexibility to request paid time away for days personally important to them
Five paid sick days


A Sales Career Built Around Serving Families

You do not have to come from the cemetery profession to understand how to listen, build trust, follow up, and serve people well.

If you are already successful in sales and are looking for a career where relationships matter, your skills may translate naturally to Family Service.

If you already work in cemetery sales, pre-need sales, at-need family service, or as a Family Service Counselor, we invite you to look closely at how Integrity Group approaches both family service and compensation.

Our philosophy is simple: strong production should grow from serving families well, not the other way around.

A sale should be an extension of the service provided to a family. That begins with listening, understanding what the family needs, helping them make informed decisions, and building relationships that continue beyond a single conversation.

That is why our Standard of Care is:

Serving Families One Conversation at a Time.

What You'll Do

As a Family Service Counselor, you will:

Meet with families regarding cemetery property, burial rights, vaults, memorials, and related cemetery products and services
Assist families with both pre-need cemetery planning and at-need cemetery arrangements
Listen to families, understand their needs, and clearly explain available cemetery options
Develop new family relationships through community outreach, referrals, follow-up, and personal prospecting
Follow up with families previously served by Celestial Memorial Gardens
Help families plan ahead and, where possible, keep family arrangements together
Explain cemetery products, services, pricing, financing, and available options clearly and professionally
Maintain consistent sales activity, family follow-up, and relationship development
Work toward established monthly production goals
Maintain accurate records and complete required paperwork
Participate in training, team meetings, and cemetery programs
Build long-term relationships throughout the West Columbia and surrounding community
Represent Celestial Memorial Gardens and Integrity Group with professionalism, compassion, and integrity
Follow Integrity Group's established systems and Standard of Care


Who We're Looking For

We are interested in two kinds of candidates:

Experienced cemetery professionals who understand Family Service, cemetery sales, pre-need and at-need arrangements, and are looking for a compensation structure and company culture worth considering.

Successful sales professionals from other industries who know how to build relationships, earn trust, follow up, ask for the business, and would like to apply those abilities in a career centered on serving families.



The right person will be:

Service-oriented and comfortable working with families
A strong listener and relationship builder
Self-motivated and accountable for personal performance
Comfortable with sales goals and measurable production
Consistent with prospecting and follow-up
Professional, organized, and dependable
Comfortable asking for the business after understanding the family's needs
Community-minded and willing to develop new relationships
Willing to learn cemetery property, merchandise, services, financing, and applicable regulations
Committed to serving families with integrity
Cemetery experience is valuable, but it is not required. Proven sales ability, relationship-building skills, and a genuine service mindset can provide a strong foundation for success

More Than an Hourly Job. More Than a Sales Job.

This is an opportunity to build a career, develop a book of relationships, serve families throughout the community, and create an income that grows with your ability to serve and produce.

Integrity Group provides the hourly foundation, commission opportunity, benefits, training, systems, and support.

A Company Where Your Name Is Known

For 25 years, Integrity Group has grown while remaining intentionally personal. Our history has proven that a company can grow without losing the personal relationships at its foundation. The families we serve are known, and the people entrusted with serving them are known as well.

At Integrity Group, your contribution can be seen, your relationships matter, and you have the opportunity to become part of a company where leadership remains accessible and individual service still matters.

Considering a Move South?

For experienced Family Service Counselors and successful sales professionals considering relocation, Celestial Memorial Gardens is located in West Columbia, South Carolina, in the greater Columbia area. This opportunity offers the chance to build both a career and a life in a growing Southern community with a milder climate.

If you are looking for a career where service, relationships, sales performance, and financial opportunity come together, we would like to speak with you.
