Definición

  • The Standard Industrial Classification used by the U.S. Department of Labor describes the death care industry as “establishments primarily engaged in preparing the dead for burial, conducting funerals, and cremating the dead.” There are approximately 22,000 funeral homes and 7,500 commercial cemeteries in the United States. However, the death care industry has a number of different components in addition to funeral homes and cemeteries, including monument makers, crematories, casket and urn manufacturers, producers of memorial merchandise, pre-need sales, and cremation disposal operations.
