If you are referring to the person who actually 'cuts people up' to establish the cause of death then they are called a pathologist.
Morticians are the people who prepare the bodies and look after them while they are at the mortuary.

Morticians work in a mortuary and take care of the body, aswell as being a funeral director.
Coroners are the ones who perform autopsies to find out the cause of the death if it is not already known.
An Undertaker is another word for a mortician, they perform the same duty.

A person who works in a mortuary is called an undertaker. A person who chops people up is called a psycho killer. Or a reconstructive surgeon.

They used to be called undertakers but now they are called morticians. Also embalmers prepare the bodies for burial/cremation.
Someone who chops and cuts people up is called a psycho.
