Mortuary Schools

There are few professions that provide an individual with a greater sense of self-worth and service to mankind than funeral service. This career path enables you to become a caregiver to your community, and the personal rewards that come from providing guidance and compassion to people in crisis are tremendous.

Currently, there are two schools in Pennsylvania that offer funeral service education and mortuary science programs. They include:
