Where do embalmers work?

Typically embalmers are employed by funeral parlors and other funeral service agencies. You will also find employment opportunities for embalmers at hospitals, mortuaries, and universities. The embalmer will typically work in an embalming lab furnished with medical equipment for operating on the deceased body and fluid injection machines that are used to pump embalming chemicals in the body. These labs should remain sterile as embalmers will come in to contact with deceased bodies, bodily fluids, and potentially infectious diseases.
