Outlook
Growth for this career will be about average. More people are choosing to be cremated, which costs less and requires fewer funeral home managers and arrangers. However, more people are pre-arranging their end-of-life services which may create some demand for funeral home managers and arrangers.
Job openings will occur as people retire. Those who are licensed as funeral arrangers and embalmers or are willing to relocate will have the best prospects.
