FUNERAL DIVAS TAKING OVAH DEATH CARE INDUSTRY
(blackmediaSCOOP) Some men will say over my dead body but the women are taking over when it comes to the death care industry. Over half of all graduates who study mortuary science are women as opposed to just 5% in the 70′s. Back in the day men were deemed unfit for the funeral industry because many thought women were not emotionally up to dealing with death or the physical demands like picking up dead bodies. However the stereotypes are being bounced on its head due to job stability, pay and a woman’s core.
Women are more patient and more willing to explain things,” said Kim Stacey, founder of the Association of Women Funeral Professionals. Additionally, she said, “Women are more able to break down physical boundaries. People will accept a hug from a woman far more willingly than they will from a man.” In an industry in which a myriad of consumer protection laws often bewilder surviving family members who are in the process of purchasing funeral services, a woman’s supposed superiority in the empathy department can help seal deals. Some funeral homes only allow women to field calls from prospective clients for just this reason.
Two of the main reasons women want into the field , stability and great pay. The annual salary for a funeral director is just over $60,000, and you know there will never be a shortage of deaths.
