pogrebni tehničar

Vjerujem da je najjednostavnije i najtačnije ovako prevesti.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Daryo : najtačnije? mortuary = mrtvačnica , ne pogreb // ovde je mortuary = working in the mortuary -- osim toga nisam našao niti jedan jedini oglas da se traži "pogrebni tehničar" (probao sam i padeže) jedino se traže "pogrebni radnici"

Training and Education
Many funeral homes require mortuary technicians to complete an apprenticeship, or internship lasting one to three years, and to earn an associate degree in some form of discipline in funeral science; they must also pass a national or state board examination.
