Facts To Expect When Picking Mortuary Works

If you are wondering about mortuary jobs, the first thing to think about is whether you can handle the tasks that go along with the job. It is physically, mentally, and emotionally draining and not everyone can handle working with cadavers every day.

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.

If you don't have a mortuary degree but are looking for a way to get into the business, working as a member of the support staff is an excellent way to get a foot in the door. This type of position could include things like grounds keeping, office work, and attending to minor funeral details. You can contact area funeral homes and inquire about support staff openings.

Another employment opportunity for someone without a degree is a mortuary transport technician. These technicians may be hired by the funeral home, or they could work for a third-party independent contractor that funeral homes use. Transport technicians are responsible for transporting the deceased from their place of death to the funeral home or coroner. You may need to console grieving families and friends at the scene and answer any questions they may have. You must be professional, clean-cut, and arrive in a timely fashion.

If you plan to make this a career, most states will require an apprenticeship with a professional in order to obtain a license. A funeral director apprentice will allow you to expand your skills and learned new ones from a seasoned professional.

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.
