Funeral Service

 

Making a Career of Serving Others
 
 
Funeral directors provide compassionate, proficient, and individualized professional services to meet the needs of families facing the death of a loved one.  Their career satisfaction comes not only from the work itself, but from seeing the results in helping families during a devastating time.  Funeral directors make a difference in their communities and take great pride in what they do. 
 
Northampton Community College provides the educational requirements for those pursuing funeral service as a career.  A one-year residency in a funeral home is required in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania following graduation.
