Pronunciation: /mɔː(ɹ)ˈtɪʃən/

noun

Etymology: From Latin mort- (“death”) + -ician.

  1. An undertaker or funeral director; especially, one who is also the embalmer or cremator.

    ““And I prefer mortician to funeral director. It sounds more professional and, well, it is more precise. I deal with more than mere funerals; I deal with death, passing on, the transition.””
