Think of Dr. Frankenstein's Igor...

Actually, at a basic level a deiner washes the bodies, moves people around and preps for autopsies. Sort of like a nurse, I guess.

I studied funeral services right out of highschool and ended up working as a deiner for awhile before moving completely out of the post mordem field of employment.
How much training do you need to be a deiner? All that shit can't be much worse than working retail.
