Happy International Women’s Day! 👸🌎

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of women everywhere. Women throughout history have helped shape our communities, professions, and the care we provide to others. 🫶

One of those pioneering women in funeral service was Lina D. Odou. Originally a nurse, she believed women could play an important role in caring not only for the sick but also for the deceased and the families who mourned them. At a time when embalming was considered work only for men, she pursued training in Europe and the United States and helped open doors for women in the field.

In 1901, Odou founded the L. D. Odou Embalming Institute, the first embalming school in the United States dedicated to training women. Her vision created opportunities for women to enter a profession that had long excluded them and helped shape the future of funeral service. Her story is a reminder of the important role women have played in caring for others and advancing the profession.
