It is very clear from day one that every single faculty member at the school is invested in your success. The program is designed not only to prepare you as best as possible for the national board exams, but also to shape you into a well-rounded and knowledgeable funeral professional. The staff truly cares about every student's individual success and are willing to help every student succeed however they can. The only thing that is lacking with the school is communication. It can be exceedingly difficult to get responses from certain faculty and professors, which can get very frustrating. However, for the cost of the school and length/quality of the program, I am more than satisfied!
This school gives you a choice of attending your classes online or in person. I am a student from Oregon, and had previously served my apprenticeship. The embalmers and funeral directors I served under told me that school was meant to prepare me for the national board exams, and the apprenticeship is where you actually learn how to embalm. At the same time, many of my friends were in school at the local mortuary program. They barely preped the minimum required cases to graduate their program, while sharing the cases with 5 other students.
Keeping that information in mind, I found it more valuable to join The Dallas Institute of Funeral Service. They meet my state educational requirements in a shorter amount of time than the local mortuary program. The program costs ended up being a better value, while connecting me to classmates around the country. Think about this if you need to serve an apprenticeship after school. Every industry considers apprentices to be their students.

The communication is pretty bad. Not just me, but multiple students have expressed how they haven’t been able to get in contact with school staff because they never respond to emails or pick up the phone.
It’s also so expensive for the poor quality of education we get. I feel like if we’re paying over $3,990 a quarter than the professors could try harder to help us succeed but there are very few who actually go out of their way (although, the ones are great professors are gems.)
Overall, I’d look somewhere else, it’s so expensive and the staff is lacking in basic care towards their students. Not only that, but some of the professors I’ve had have not been good at all.
