Un maquilleur funéraire prépare les morts pour la visualisation, voire l'esthétique lors d’un enterrement cercueil ouvert. Le but est de faire en sorte que visuellement, le corps ne diffère pas trop de [l'aspect que la personne avait] de son vivant. Les maquilleurs funéraires ont généralement reçu une formation en cosmétologie ou en science mortuaire. La méthode la plus courante pour devenir un maquilleur funéraire est d’assister à un programme de science mortuaire. 2, record 2, French, - cosm%C3%A9tologue%20fun%C3%A9raire
