Mid-America College of Funeral Service is by far the best choice in funeral service education I could have made. Its foundation dates back to training undertakers, morticians, and funeral directors for way beyond a century - a proven legacy. Its courage to stand beside the funeral industry after my licensure makes me proud, and knowing that its roots came from one of the deepest loved families that helped to create modern day funeral service. If I had it to do all over again I would feel confident in the character, student to teacher ratio, proven comprehensive exam and board results, and deep admiration to move a student toward a license like I did years ago in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Mid-America sets the standard of excellence for the potential student to become the FINEST!

"Mid-America really helped me develop a strong foundation of practical knowledge for the funeral service industry. I passed the National Board exam on first attempt, and I credit this to the preparation I received from Mid-America."
