About Willed - a startup on a mission

Willed is an exciting start up making end-of-life planning simple, affordable, and accessible for all Australians.

Having helped over 100,000 Australians write their Wills online, demand for funeral services saw us launch Willed Funerals. Willed Funerals is going from strength to strength, servicing Victoria, New South Wales, ACT and Queensland.

Our ethos is to provide great service and great value for money - something we do by using technology wisely but bringing great interpersonal skills into every interaction.

While families approach us in their moments of grief, we can make a world of difference in the way we engage and help them. If this ethos is one you share, you are the sort of person we want as Funeral Service Consultant.

And that’s where you come in.
