Student Spotlight
Kenny Allan

Class of 2023

"I had left my job at the Railroad, and Covid was happening. I had lost a loved one, and I was working part-time at some other funeral homes. The funeral home we used for my stepmom's services offered me a job," Kenny recalls. After two years of dedication, he was encouraged to pursue further education and become a licensed director, leading him to enroll in 4Cs.

Julie Sudol

Class of 2022

“The Funeral Service program is a mix of what I love. Most people think that funeral service is working with the dead, but the majority is working with the living and helping them through a very difficult time. I want people to look back and say, ‘that was a really dark time in my life, and she helped me through it.’”
