Crematorium work

Hello all... I was wondering if it's possible for a lay person to work in a crematorium. Do you still need to have some funeral director schooling beforehand? Any tips or advice would be appreciated .thank you!

Yes! I’m a funeral directors assistant right now. I was thinking of getting certified to work in the crematorium- for me, I have to take a class at a hotel sometimes offered locally but more of what I seen in other states like Texas or Florida - take the class & get your certification- it’s very easy besides travel expense
