  • Enforce all legal, safety, and health requirements related to mortuary and medical transport.
  • Respond to and resolve client inquiries or concerns with empathy, urgency, and professionalism.
  • Manage records for all transports, including care documentation, billing logs, and vehicle usage.
  • Remain available for on-call or after-hours duties as necessary during early-stage scaling.
