Funeral Women Lead is honored to share that Lisa Baue’s personal story has been featured in Newsweek’s “My Turn” column. The article, “I Grew Up in a Funeral Home. There Was One Experience I’ll Never Forget,” sheds light on the raw, formative experiences that shaped her life, her leadership, and the insights that inspired her book Wake Up Calls: A Journey of Learning to Lead and Succeed in the Funeral and Deathcare Profession. All proceeds from Wake Up Calls are donated to organizations that support scholarships for women in the funeral profession.
This national spotlight is a proud moment for Lisa and for Funeral Women Lead, the organization she founded earlier this year with a mission to unleash the greatness in women of the funeral and deathcare profession. Funeral Women Lead is an organization dedicated to highlighting the leadership, compassion, and innovation women bring to the funeral profession. It also opens the door for deeper conversations about the future of funeral service and deathcare and supportive professions and the essential role women play in shaping it.
“Being featured in Newsweek is an honor, but for me it’s really a win for the thousands of women serving families every day in funeral service,” said Baue. “Our stories, our grief, and our grit belong at the center of the conversation about the future of this profession—and Funeral Women Lead exists to make sure those voices are seen, heard, and equipped to lead.”
As Lisa and the organization continue their work to elevate women’s voices in deathcare, all are invited to stay informed and support their efforts through upcoming updates.
