Generally speaking a Mortician prepares a human body for disposal after death: I did not say internment as that is not always the case.
If the body was damaged from some trauma, or an autopsy, the mortician will repair the body to a presentable state (if it is intended to be viewed). This can and often does include embalming (preservation chemicals) as well as many operations that are required, but not stated publicly out of respect for the people who will view the body (In all honesty you do not want to know what is done to your grandmother in order for you to view her body after she has died).
Also certain religious requests are accommodated, as best as they can be. For example:
The mortician prepares the dead body for buriel, first by embalming the body and then using cosmetic techniques to make the person look as much like she would were she alive. Embalming involves cleaning the body, sticking one tube in to drain out all the blood and body fluids, another to pump in embalming fluid. The organs are also sucked out, parts of the body stuffed with cotton, the jaw is wired shut to hold the mouth closed, they put little sticky cups over the eyeball that the inside of the eyelid will stick to, so the eyelids will stay closed. Then they make the body look good. Men get shaved, nails trimmed, hair washed. Women get their hair styled to look like a picture they are given of the women in life. They apply special makeup, dress the corpses in clothes selected by family member, which are actually cut down in the back so they are easier to get on the corpse. Then into the casket, out to be viewed then turned over to the cemetery for burial. Morticians aren't usually involved in the actual cremation as it requires special equipment that is not cost effective for most mortuaries.
The organs stay in the body.
This song is about Andy's ex girlfriend Scott tayler campton and is basically a over glamorized song about relationships, but the reason for the song name "Mortician's daughter" is that her dad really was a mortician. Basically, its a love song from Andy Sixx to Scott Taylor Campton.
My father is a wonderful mortician.

A mortician's apprentice is someone who is aspiring to be a mortician and works for free for a professional mortician. They do the general work a mortician does but under the close supervision of a professional. They work without pay but generally are hired after a set period of time.
