What To Know When Concerning Mortuary Jobs

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 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 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 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.
