I want to be a mortician makeup artist, what are the steps i have to do to get to do this job?

Answer 1

Depends on the state you are in. I am cosmetologist in Texas and here we can go to funeral homes and do hair and makeup if we want. But I think each state has different rules.

Answer 2

Most funeral directors do their own cosmetics, as we are extensively trained in mortuary school on how to do them, therefore a funeral home hiring out for this service is rare. But you may want to try looking into a big conglomerate like SCI or Alderwoods, you may have a better chance with them. I would presume they would require a cosmetology certificate or degree. Hope this helps!
