What do you need to do to become a mortician in Canada?



Question by Sarah: What do you need to do to become a mortician in Canada?
I’m interested in this as a career, I’ve tried looking on the internet but haven’t found anything yet, and I’m really not interested in being a funeral director or anything like that, just preparing bodies. I know it’s a little morbid but t’s something I’ve always been interested in.
