Step 1: Complete Education Requirements. State licensing boards that issue credentials to morticians require candidates have an associate's degree. Most mortuary science programs accredited by the American Board of Funeral Service Education (ABFSE) are associate's degrees; although, a few are bachelor's programs.
Associate's Degree in Funeral Service. About 25 percent of classes needed for an associateâs degree are general education electives, such as public speaking, English, history and sociology. Specific requirements for funeral service include science classes, particularly biology, chemistry and embalming procedures. Due to the emotionally sensitive nature of a mortician's job, courses in psychology, interpersonal communication and grief counseling are also required. To prepare for the business and regulatory aspects of funeral services, students take classes in information technology, finance, business law and ethics.
