Overview:
Interior Body Recovery and Transport Ltd. (IBRT) is a highly-regarded, professional post-life transfer service known for its kindness, reliability, and ethical approach to care. Founded in Kamloops, IBRT provides 24/7/365 support to families, care facilities, and funeral homes across the region. As we grow to serve Salmon Arm and the surrounding communities, our focus remains the same: to provide meaningful, dignified, team-based transfer services grounded in proper training, clear standards, and mutual respect for both the individuals we serve and the professionals we work alongside.
Our natural progression into Salmon Arm is centered on building a local team to serve their own community, ensuring that care practices reflect the values, relationships, and expectations of the people who live and work here. We believe post-life care is best delivered by individuals who understand the community they serve, and we are committed to supporting locally rooted, community-informed care rather than imposing external models or practices.
We are privileged to participate in this work and seek individuals who bring professionalism, compassion, and a desire to grow within a structured and respectful team environment.
