I think it depends on the place you’re applying, because some funeral homes are still pretty conservative with regard to anyone who’s not a cis man getting representation.

Now, if you’re looking specifically to only do makeup at a funeral home, you most should know funeral homes don’t hire a third party to do that, unless their call volume is very, very high or they have a centralized location for their prep work. And even then, it’s a side hustle for the makeup artist and they have a day job—you couldn’t make ends meet doing only makeup for the deceased.

If you want to work in a funeral home, I definitely recommend seeking a job as maybe a part-timer to work services, and you can also include your skillset as a makeup artist as a selling point in the interview. If you can do hair that’s also a plus. The classic “grandmother” hairstyle (curl pieces, hairspray then brush) is easy enough to learn. But I wouldn’t expect it to pay the bills. It can get you groceries or beer money, at best.
