How much do mortuary jobs pay per year?
What are mortuary jobs?
Mortuary jobs include a range of technical and administrative positions. The primary technical role is a mortician, whose job duties are to consult with the family or bereaved about funeral arrangements and prepare bodies according to their specifications, such as embalming or cremation. In many cases, the director of the funeral home is also a mortician. Other administrative positions include funeral service workers, whose responsibilities include consoling the family, helping to prepare the funeral home for services, and assisting clients with death certificates and Social Security documentation.

What is the difference between Mortuary vs Funeral Director?
| Aspect | Mortuary | Funeral Director |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Requires mortuary science license, embalming certification | Requires funeral service license, embalming certification |
| Work Environment | Funeral homes, morgues, hospitals | Funeral homes, cemeteries, client homes |
| Job Role | Prepares bodies, embalms, maintains mortuary facilities | Arranges funerals, assists families, manages services |
While both roles involve working in funeral services, a mortuary primarily focuses on body preparation and embalming, whereas a funeral director manages funeral arrangements and supports grieving families. Both require similar certifications and often work in the same environments, but their daily responsibilities differ significantly.

Job description
When a Sailor makes the ultimate sacrifice, we have an honored duty to ensure that crew member’s remains are treated with the utmost dignity and respect. For this reason, Navy Morticians have a very important role to play. You’ll be responsible for handling all parts of the process, from communicating with families and foreign governments to retrieve and deliver remains, to carefully preparing each body and conducting funeral services to honor those who have fallen. The Navy is the only branch of the military that employs its own morticians as military personnel. Our Sailors have devoted their lives to defense; it is only right that we find the best caretakers to defend their legacy.
