What You Should Know When Choosing Jobs In Mortuary

The first question to ask yourself if you are thinking of mortuary jobs is whether or not you will be able to handle the job's tasks that will be required of you. You will have to work with cadavers, and not everyone is able to do that.

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.

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 popular opportunity is working as a mortuary transport technician. You could be hired by a third-party contractor or directly by the funeral home. You would be responsible for transporting the deceased to the coroner's office or to the funeral home from their place of death. You will need to be prepared to deal with grieving families and answer their questions. This will require you to be professional and sympathetic at all times.

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.
