Having spent nearly 10 years as a funeral director, I have never met a Mortuary Cosmetologist. One of the female directors would usually go off a picture, or the family would often call that person’s regular cosmetologist and ask them to do it. Often times they would for the normal fee or for free as a favor to the family.
A classmate of mine in high school, one year ahead of me, was apprenticing at a local funeral home while still in school. Is that unusual?
Gal that did my hair for years was also a mortuary cosmetologist.
