    Things You’ll Need:
    Computers
    Online Career Search
    College Catalogs

    Step1 Work at a funeral home during high school, doing miscellaneous tasks. This will allow you to understand what the field entails.

    Step2 Check out the National Funeral Directors Association Web site (see nfda.org) to find your state's educational requirements for a mortician's license.

    Step3 Note that many states require an associate's degree in funeral service education. Some call for a four-year degree, while others require only high school plus training.

    Step4 Apply to any of the accredited colleges listed in the NFDA Web site, making certain you will receive the background needed for a mortician's license in your state.

    Step5 Take the National Board Examination after you have completed your degree work.

    Step6 Work as an apprentice for one to two years before, during or after attending college. The exact time depends on your state. Contact your state board early on for exact information.

    It really depends upon the state you live in. You can check out the NFDA (National Funeral Directors Association) website, and find out what your state requires. www.nfda.org
