Outlook

This career will show little to no change. Small funeral homes are being bought out by large corporations. In the past, each funeral home had an embalmer. Now, one embalmer may work at several funeral homes that are owned by a single corporation. However, the workload for embalmers is increasing due to an increase in the aging population.

Openings will occur as people retire or leave this career.
