Funeral Home Managers pay in Georgia and Rhode Island
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Funeral Home Managers is $79,010 per year in Georgia. It is $122,150 per year in Rhode Island. Georgia is 35.3% below Rhode Island on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 11-9171 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 420 wage and salary jobs in Georgia and 120 in Rhode Island. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
