What is the name of the undertaker who takes Oliver Twist as an apprentice?

The undertaker who takes Oliver Twist as an apprentice is Mr. Sowerberry.

After Oliver asks for more gruel at the parish workhouse, the authorities decide to get rid of him by offering him as an apprentice. Mr. Sowerberry, a local undertaker and coffin maker, accepts him. Oliver is taken to Sowerberry’s establishment, where he helps with funeral work and serves as a mute at paupers’ funerals.

Sowerberry is not presented as simply kind or cruel. He initially recognizes that Oliver may be useful and profitable, but he remains weak and miserly, especially when pressured by his wife. Oliver is bullied by Noah Claypole, another apprentice, whose insults about Oliver’s dead mother provoke Oliver to fight back. Sowerberry sides against Oliver and has him punished.

The episode is a crucial turning point. After the conflict, Oliver escapes and begins his journey toward London, where he meets the Artful Dodger and becomes entangled with Fagin’s criminal network. Mr. Bumble is the workhouse beadle, not the undertaker.
