What To Learn When Considering Jobs In Mortuary

If you are looking into mortuary jobs, you must first decide if you can physically, mentally, and emotionally handle the job tasks you will be required to perform. You must work with cadavers, and that is not something just anyone can do.

There are many different areas of a mortuary that you can work in. You could be a funeral director, funeral director's assistant, a member of the support staff, or even a cosmetologist.

Students that are working towards a mortuary science degree often look for entry level positions in order to gain experience in the business. One popular way to do this is to work on the funeral home support staff. This could include doing simple office work, minor duties during funerals, and even grounds keeping. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, just contact local funeral homes and ask about open positions.

Another opportunity for students, or anyone without a degree, is a transport technician. In working as a technician, you could be hired directly by the funeral home or by a third-party contractor that work for various funeral homes in the area. As a transport technician, you would be required to transport the deceased from the place where they passed to the coroner or funeral home. You will often have to console grieving families and friends at the scene and possibly answer their questions.

If you plan on making funeral services a career, most states require an apprenticeship in order to get your license. This is a great way to learn all about the business and obtain new skills.

If you have a degree in mortuary science already then you can work as an embalming technician or funeral director. As a funeral director, you will arrange many of the details at funeral services, such as urn and casket sales, memorial table setups, and floral arrangements. You will need to help pre-plan funerals and often help grieving families.
