Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Funeral Attendants

Recovery, escort and temporary burial of remains provide a practical foundation for funeral-service support under a funeral director.

How to prepare: Ask a funeral home to assess your remains-handling experience for attendant work and identify orientation needed for casket placement and service support.

What the civilian work involves
  • Perform a variety of tasks during funerals to assist funeral directors and to ensure that services run smoothly and as planned.
  • Close caskets at appropriate point in services.
  • Place caskets in parlors or chapels prior to wakes or funerals.

Morticians, Undertakers, and Funeral Arrangers

Recovery, collection and temporary burial experience transfers to the removal and care-of-remains portion of professional funeral work.

How to prepare: Have the state licensing board and an accredited funeral-service program assess your existing education and training to identify remaining requirements. An associate degree is typical; most state licensing routes require age 21, accredited education, a state or national board examination and supervised training generally lasting one to three years, with requirements varying by state.

What the civilian work involves
  • Oversee the preparation and care of the remains of people who have died.
  • Obtain information needed to complete legal documents, such as death certificates or burial permits.
  • Remove deceased remains from place of death.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
