A Sexton is hired by every Church to undertake the task of cleaning and maintaining the Church. The job description entails cleaning and dusting rather than just digging graves. While specific duties may vary, the Sexton Resume gives a list of the following common core tasks – vacuuming carpets and sweeping floors, emptying trash and recycling bins; cleaning office and kitchen areas, cleaning bathrooms, managing supplies, keeping the public area neat and clean; making minor repairs and changing light bulbs. The other duties include setting up and removing chairs after service, placing flower arrangements, lighting candles, and making sure the service participants have everything that is needed.
