Top Mortuary Schools
Mortuary schools instruct in a specialized field that provides essential services for every community, in every state. Training in mortuary services may be found in community colleges, colleges, and universities.
Mortuary programs at the community college level provide associate degrees, with a one-year residency in a funeral home to meet requirements for entry-level careers in funeral service. College and university mortuary schools provide bachelor degree programs in mortuary science, and educate students in all phases of funeral service to develop proficiency and skills necessary for the profession. Bachelor degrees require four years or more of education, beginning with two years of liberal arts courses.
The programs taught at mortuary schools include the study of the history of funeral service, practices and procedures, rules and regulations of states and federal governments, organization and management, business law, marketing and merchandising, psychology, counseling, human anatomy, physiology, microbiology, forensic pathology, restorative art, embalming, health sciences, religions and cultures, and much more.
Some mortuary schools and colleges require hands-on training in a licensed funeral home for gaining practical experience. Students should be careful to choose only those schools that are accredited and meet state licensure requirements.
