In researching my family history, I've recently encountered a relative - I think - who was a female undertaker listed in the 1899 Trow's Business Directory (http://books.google.com/books?id=gPkvAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_navlinks_s#v=onepage&q=&f=false). She's not the only woman there, but she's one of very few. I'm interested in learning more about the historical profession and especially about women as undertakers. If you do have the time to send further information, I can be reached at kathleen.scarlett.ohara AT gmail.com Is there anywhere to find information on the history of women in the undertaking profession?
