In Mortuary Science and the Funeral Industry

Though it sounds like a gruesome profession, the death industry is full of professionals whose greatest aim is to help people. Readers of this book will learn about the people on both sides of the experience–those who investigate deaths (coroners, medical examiners) and those who lay the body to rest (funeral directors, embalmers). Descriptions of each job, qualities needed to do the job, education, training, salary, and outlook are all outlined.
