of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The boring parts are leaving. The judgment stays.
43% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. In the blast radius. A real slice of the work is already automatable. The rest isn’t.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Schedule work hours for funeral home or contract employees
- Explain goals, policies, or procedures to staff members
- Complete and maintain records, such as state-required documents, tracking documents, or product inventories
- Sell funeral services, products, or merchandise to clients
- Negotiate contracts for prearranged funeral services
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Direct and supervise work of embalmers, funeral attendants, death certificate clerks, cosmetologists, or other staff
- Direct or monitor administrative, support, repair, or maintenance services for funeral homes
- Consult with families or friends of the deceased to arrange funeral details, such as obituary notice wording, casket selection, or plans for services
- Schedule funerals, burials, or cremations
- Offer counsel and comfort to families and friends of the deceased
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
