Details To Expect When Selecting 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 positions at a mortuary. You could work as a hair stylist, cosmetologist, mortuary's assistant, funeral director, or even as a member of the support staff.

One popular job for people that do not have a mortuary degree and are looking for an entry level position is working as funeral home support staff. A position like this could include simple things like office work, grounds keeping, and performing minor duties during funerals. This is a great way to get into the business; simply contact funeral homes in your area and ask about support staff positions available.

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 mortuary science degree, then you can work as an embalming technician or funeral director. As a funeral director you would arrange details of funerals, such as floral arrangements, casket and urn sales, and many other details. You will have to help families to pre-plan funerals and you will often need to console the families of the deceased.
