Morgue attendants, sometimes called morgue assistants, play an important role in the postmortem examination process. They assist pathologists in preparing bodies and organ specimens for examination, while also maintaining the morgue room, supplies and equipment. They work in hospitals, mortuaries, funeral homes and county coroner offices.
The term mortician is derived from the Latin word mort- (âdeathâ) + -ician. In 1895, the trade magazine The Embalmers' Monthly put out a call for a new name for the profession to distance itself from the title undertaker, a term that was then perceived to have been tarnished by its association with death.
