Diener

Introduction


The word Diener is German for servant.[1][2] In English, it is used to describe the person, in the morgue, responsible for handling, moving, and cleaning the corpse. It is derived from the German word Leichendiener, which literally means corpse servant.

Dieners are also referred to as morgue attendants.
