About the job - Transport and care of deceased persons

When a person passes away, the body must be transported in a dignified and secure manner. This may involve picking up the deceased from the place of death and transporting them to the nearest mortuary, or transporting them to the National Board of Forensic Medicine (Rättsmedicinalverket) for examination.

As a transporter with us, you become part of the entire chain of care for the deceased. The work is always performed in teams of two, where you alternate between driver and assistant. You collaborate closely with authorities, the National Board of Forensic Medicine, municipal housing facilities, external housing facilities, and our own funeral agencies.

Working hours are varied, and the workload can fluctuate between high-intensity periods and calmer shifts. The job also involves responsibility for vehicle maintenance, material handling, and working with autonomy and accountability.
