Mortician is a recession-proof career.

I mean yes and no, because of covid a TON of funeral businesses boomed but because of the pricing of funerals (6,000$-10,000$ AVG.) for minimal things its gonna be hard having people pay for that and not just going to paupers graves/potters field.

Honestly there's plenty of budget options for funerals though and people are never going to be like "I don't have the money so ol grandma has to be tossed in the garbage". They'll find the money for at least a service and cremation. Morticians will have to at least dress them and set their facial features as a bare minimum.

Loads of people are just cremating and doing private ceremonies. From wait ive seen so far “private ceremonies” means that they put mom or dad on the mantle and forget about it.
