Journal Article
A Collaborative Evaluation Examining Tattoos in the Funeral Profession
2021
Overview
The current study describes how evaluators and funeral home employers could collaborate and comprehensively evaluate funeral home hiring practices based on visible body art of prospective funeral home employees. Specifically, this study examines funeral home employers’ perceptions of hiring funeral directors with visible body art, including tattoos and piercings, as the field has historically held conservative traditions and practices. The Model for Collaborative Evaluations (MCE) was used in the current study to examine the perceptions of funeral home employers as they assessed proposed candidates based on extent of the candidates' body art or lack thereof. Findings from the current study show that potential employers have neutral perceptions regarding the hireability of employees regardless of the extent of visible body art. Implications of the study results, which are based on the MCE in evaluating funeral home employers’ perceptions of visible body art, such as the revision of employee handbooks, are discussed.
