A Los Angeles Review of Books essay examines the growing presence of women in the American death industry, drawing on mortuary science programs and Andie Eisen's Quarterly to explore how funeral work is changing. The piece looks at who is entering the profession and why mortuary schools are increasingly filled with women, reshaping a field long dominated by men.
