What You Should Expect When Considering Mortuary Jobs

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 different areas of a mortuary you can choose to work in. Most mortuaries have a cosmetologist, mortuary's assistant, and funeral director to name a few.

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 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 want to make funeral services a career, you will most likely need to complete an apprenticeship with a funeral services professional in order to qualify for a license. This will give you a chance to learn the business and expand your 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.
