The Two-tier Pay System: A Future Trend in Funeral Service

A funeral director's pay has traditionally been based upon tenure with the firm, experience in the preparation room and commitment to community involvement. Today, as a result of more firms struggling to maximize profits, funeral home employers are re-evaluating the value of their employees and a new salary trend is emerging—the two-tier pay system. The Two-tier Pay System: A Fuure Trend in Funeral Service describes how the pay scale is affecting funeral service and how employers are compensating their loyal employees. The article was written by Harper Simpson, a licensed funeral director in Pennsylvania and Florida with 30 years of experience. He founded a funeral business in Pennsylvania in 1972. Following the sale of the business in 1992, he worked with two of the major acquisition corporations and is currently managing a funeral home in Naples, FL.
