South Korea’s funeral industry grows as aging and loneliness increase demand for death care workers in single-person households.
South Korea’s funeral industry is expanding rapidly due to a shrinking population, low birthrate, and aging society, with more young people training as funeral directors in Busan.
Rising "lonely deaths" in single-person households—now 42% of homes—have increased demand for professionals who clean homes and recover remains, often finding personal items like unopened gifts, soju bottles, and hidden art.
Some workers, like former musician Cho Eun-seok, also rescue pets and develop tools to detect deaths early, reflecting a broader shift in how society handles death in isolation.
