Education and Training Requirements
High School
If you are interested in entering the field of mortuary science, consider taking classes in algebra, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, biology, physics, and any other laboratory courses available. In addition, a psychology class might be helpful since funeral home workers must deal with distraught families and friends of deceased persons. English and speech classes will help you hone your writing and speaking skills.
