coroner and mortician are very different...coroners are or have been morticians at some time, or a medical doctor in some cases, who now work for the state overseeing the state/county/city morgue...they work closely with the police and CSI units in determining cause of death, in both criminal and civil matters...a mortician is the director of a funeral home (watch 6 Feet Under) and deals directly with the public...they are responsible for the interment or destruction of human remains...they do not do autopsies (for the most part)...mortuary sciences are a unique art that requires tremendous ammounts of training...there are schools that deal specifically with these classes and are not normally found at a traditional university...

In PA a coroner is elected by the people...Mortician: lots of schooling; they have mortician schools...very good field and you have to keep things moving along when people want to freeze time...I hope your decision is a good one...
