Metal-Archives lists 35 bands with the moniker of Mortuary, and the only one that I was ever very familiar with was the French band, but these guys are from Russia and are actually quite good. Just to be completely transparent, these guys changed their name to Mortuary Division in 2015 on their last release, so they don't even show up on the list I mentioned. Listen & support if you like what you hear.
