Do you think that undertakers who bury murder victims are complicit with murder, too?

No. Do you?

You don't understand the moral difference between an undertaker and someone who treats the bodies of millions of abortion victims as "medical waste," and puts the bodies in the incinerators or the landfill?

"Do you think that undertakers who bury murder victims are complicit with murder, too?

Depending on circumstances, that answer may well be an emphatic YES!

In The Godfather, the undertaker Bonaserra certainly thought so. In the novel, he was bothered by the nightmare of what "Someday, and that day may never come, I will ask you to perform a service and you will perform that service." According to Mario Puzo, the author, Bonaserra imagined that Don Vito Corleone would someday cause dozens of dead rival gangsters to be processed illicitly through Bonaserra's funeral parlor and, ummmm, off the books as far as the absence of death certificates was concerned. Bonaserra dreaded such an outcome and the fact that it would make him personally and morally complicit in such murders but he was willing to do so because those boys tried to rape his daughter, disfigured her for life and laughed at him as they left the courtroom with a slap on the wrist. As it turned out, of course, he had only to fix up the looks of Sonny's thoroughly massacred corpse without any personal culpability.

Bonaserra's willingness to engage in imagined but never consummated complicity in many possible murders vs. Mittler/Bain Capital/Stericycle making the big bucks greedily enabling abortion mills? Bonaserra's fault was in thought. Mittler/Bain/Stericycle was a fault in deed and for utterly corrupt money (the habit of their lifetimes unlike the previously honest but now fallen Bonaserra). Moral disadvantage: Romney and his co-conspirators.
