Original: Keeping Up Appearances – The women taking over the funeral industry

A Los Angeles Review of Books essay examines how women now dominate mortuary science programs and the death care industry, reshaping a profession historically run by men. The piece explores what this shift means for how funeral work is trained, performed and perceived, drawing attention to changing demographics in mortuary education and the cultural questions raised by women leading the business of death.

Why now: The essay offers a fresh perspective on a surprising demographic shift in an industry people rarely think about.
