Often viewed as a scary job, the mortician actually performs a service that is needed by the community.

When the body from the coroner’s office was sent to the funeral home, the mortician first cleaned the body.

In order to embalm the body, the mortician would then inject the body with embalming fluids so it would preserve the body for the funeral.

Since the deceased man’s wish was to be cremated, the family spoke with the mortician about the process.
