Most funeral directors on an average yearly salary of $53,000.00 to $60,000.00 per year.
The average hourly pay for most funeral directors is around $25.00 to $30.00 per hour which is about average with most other jobs.
Being a funeral director though is not for everyone because you're dealing with peoples death and making money from peoples deaths can get to some people.
It's certainly not wrong to work as a funeral director and earn money doing so but for some people it just makes them feel bad.
I had a friend who worked as a funeral director and at first he liked the job but then after about 5 years of working as the funeral director the job got to him and he couldn't figure out why.
He then figured that he didn't like making money from peoples deaths.
So he just found another job.
However funeral director and funeral home jobs will always be in demand because people who are born will always die and will almost always need a funeral home or funeral director.
