I haven't got anything to say here, so let's get right into it.

1. Funeral Director
A funeral director is a very central profession in the world of death. Their duties range from administrative tasks, service coordination, client care and relations, and even caring for the deceased. Because of this, becoming a funeral director in many places requires the completion of a specialized program that trains the individual in running a funeral home, the ethical and moral elements of dealing with the dead, communication skills, as well as scientific studies.
This can be a high-stress job.
2. Embalmers
While embalmers may also act as funeral directors, their duties are quite different, and require a great deal of training in the areas of anatomy, thanatology (the study of death), chemistry, and embalming theory. Embalmers have many tasks, most of which directly involve handling and preparing dead bodies for display in funeral services.
3. Coroner
The main role of a coroner is to examine dead bodies, declare them legally deceased, and to determine the cause of natural and unnatural deaths. Coroners are publicly appointed officials who work in a particular region. Depending on the size of the region, the coroner may determine the cause of death personally, or will oversee the examination of the body by another professional. This might be one of the most specialized of the careers in death care. People with this occupation must have had university education and a degree in a field such as criminology.
4. Forensic Pathologist
Similar to coroners
Forensic pathologists perform autopsies to determine the cause of death, and the manner of death (homicide, accidental, natural, or unknown). During the autopsy, it is also the forensic pathologist’s duty to note and collect any evidence that may be relevant to the investigation surrounding the deceased. They will be required to carry out toxicology reports, and in some cases, collect bodily evidence to help identify the deceased. They may also have to present their findings in court, depending on the nature of the death.
