Quality leads you can trust so you can earn what you want.

You’re an ambitious professional who always strives to hit your goals. But, without qualified leads and community connections, are those goals even possible?  

Imagine what you could do with a dedicated team supporting your efforts with qualified leads, appointment setting, and strategic marketing resources! 

You’ll be working in a recession-proof industry so the sky’s the limit to growing your earning potential!

What you’ll do (and why you’ll love doing it)

  • Make what you want: Earn competitive compensation that you control by closing pre-set appointments (typical average of $65,000 - $70,000/annually with no earning cap)

  • Live Flexibly: Enjoy the freedom of being your own boss, setting your schedule and balancing work and life priorities

  • Capitalize on our support: Lead generation programs and strategic marketing programs provided at no cost –  you’ll be representing one of our premier funeral home partners in qualified meetings with clients that typically last 90 mins

  • Experience recognition of a lifetime: Precoa Escapes Sales Incentive Trips for you and your family

  • Advance your career: A current life insurance license or ability to obtain one will give you professional credentials to use now and in the future

Be independent, not alone

As an Advance Funeral Planner, you have a dedicated team of over 50 agents setting appointments and helping you know as much as possible about your clients.  Precoa’s field management provides you with organizational tools, mentorship, and coaching to succeed in a unique and growing industry.

Learn the legacy of Chestnut Funeral Home:

Mr. Matthew E. Hughes, also known as “Boisey” approached Mr. Charles S. Chestnut, Sr. about opening a Funeral Home in Gainesville, Florida. They opened Hughes and Chestnut Funeral Home in Gainesville and later in Ocala, Florida. Hughes and Chestnut are also listed among the founding members of the Florida Mortician Association, a Black Association for Black Morticians.
 
The Florida law establishing licensing of Funeral Homes was passed in the 1959 session of the Florida Legislature. Therefore, the first licenses issued were in July 1959 for the fiscal year 1959-1960. On September 2, 1959, license #199 was issued to Hughes and Chestnut Funeral Home, Gainesville, Florida. The application for this establishment indicates that operation began in 1914, and the co-owners were Matthew E. Hughes and Charles S. Chestnut, Sr. Mr. Hughes died June 15, 1947, Mr. Chestnut, Sr. died July 14, 1977.
 
Mr. Chestnut was among the first forty Black Embalmers having received his license #388 on May 20, 1928. The law was passed in 1917 for Embalmers, but only thirty-nine black men had been grandfathered in or granted a license.
 
Licensing of Funeral Directors became applicable in 1935 and Mr. Chestnut was among the first to receive his license; #115, and he was also one of the first fifteen who were initially licensed as a Funeral Director. All other Funeral Directors were grandfathered in at that time of which, forty-six black Funeral Directors were licensed.
 
For one hundred years or more, Chestnut Funeral Home, Inc., has been serving the Gainesville, Alachua County, and North Central Florida areas. We stand on the principal of Charles S. Chestnut, Sr.; who believed in the “Code of Good Funeral Practice”.

“As Funeral Directors, our calling imposes upon us special responsibilities to those we serve and to the public at large. Chief among them is the obligation to inform the public so that everyone can make knowledgeable decisions about funerals and funeral directors”.
