How do I get in the business of applying makeup for the deceased?

Question

I never really like the way most deceased people looked at funerals, so when Mom passed I did her makeup myself and everyone said she look so beautiful, natural and peaceful. I would like to help other families make their loved ones look just as restful.

Answer 1

first check with the related services if they would work with you

Answer 2

I believe you may need some schooling for someone to hire you but you could apply at some funeral homes.

Answer 3

I don't know what country your from, but in the UK you need at least an NVQ 2 in Beauty Therapy or a suitable make up artist qualification to do that job.  I suggest you ask a local carers adviser about what qualifications you'd need or do some research on the net.
