Morticians, Undertakers, and Funeral Arrangers pay in Delaware and Ohio
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Morticians, Undertakers, and Funeral Arrangers is $81,530 per year in Delaware. It is $57,800 per year in Ohio. Delaware is 41.1% above Ohio on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 39-4031 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 80 wage and salary jobs in Delaware and 1,370 in Ohio. 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.
