SAC, according to district and community leaders at the opening, expects exposure to a simulated funeral home environment will be a game changer, providing customer-facing roles often missing in conventional educational settings. Plans call for the San Antonio College Mortuary to be a full-service, customer-facing funeral home, including a chapel with seating for 60, meeting rooms and offices, and a full array of burial and other mortuary services. Campus leaders said the new mortuary will extend and improve its mortuary science program by offering students the opportunity to work in a funeral home with families experiencing the loss of a loved one. The mortuary is in the Ashby House on the SAC campus at 1819 N. Main Ave., according to Jennifer Floyd, director of mortuary operations SAC Mortuary. Families using the chapel will be served by a licensed funeral director assisted by mortuary students. SAC offers an associate of applied science in mortuary science, which includes funeral directing and embalming as well as a certification in funeral directing. The mortuary was added to give SAC students experience with funeral directing. While students have an embalming facility in the Nail Technical Center, the addition of a mortuary gives them experience working directly with families in a funeral home setting under the supervision of program faculty members, who are all licensed funeral directors. “Our focus will be on serving the families that come to us, but at the same time it’s going to be a training funeral home,” Floyd said. “We want to give the funeral directing students the same opportunities our embalming students have.” Opening a full-service funeral home on campus marks another trailblazing moment for SAC’s mortuary sciences program. The new facility required a change in Texas law to allow funeral homes to be located on a college campus. Founded in 1961, SAC’s college-based funeral service education program was the first in Texas. Prior to the funeral home opening on campus, funeral directing students gained experience through internships at local mortuaries. While students may still participate in internships off campus, the SAC Mortuary provides more opportunities to get real world experience. “We’re planning for the funeral home to serve as a lab for our students,” Floyd said. “It’s a place where our students can practice how to present caskets to the public, witness how we make arrangements for a grieving family, how we move the casket inside the chapel, all of those activities that they cannot do at other funeral homes.” Prices for services and merchandise at the SAC Mortuary will be comparable to other funeral homes in the area, Floyd said. Clients will be able to choose from a full assortment of caskets, urns, and other options at the funeral home. Visit www.sacmortuary.com to learn more. “Customers will have most of the same choices, like they would at any other funeral home,” Floyd said. There are currently 314 students in SAC’s mortuary sciences program, along with three full-time faculty members and one adjunct professor. The first two semesters of the program focus on funeral directing, with the last two semesters dedicated to the science portion, including anatomy, embalming, microbiology and chemistry. Students who complete the program are eligible to take a national board exam that allows them to work in funeral homes and with additional experience, become fully licensed.

San Antonio College Mortuary Program Opens One of The First-In-the-Nation, On-Campus Funeral Homes SAN ANTONIO,TX— True to its trail-blazing tradition in vocational education, San Antonio College (SAC) is now home to the nation’s first mortuary on a college campus. James White, executive director of the Texas Funeral Service Commission, applauded the school’s efforts to establish the on-campus funeral home: “Several years ago, the San Antonio community successfully convinced the Texas Legislature to change the law to allow the San Antonio College to gain a funeral establishment license. Central Texans aspiring to join the ranks of licensed funeral directors and embalmers have a good reason to look forward to seeing this enhancement to their instructional classroom experience.” A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held February 23rd. This on-campus resource, located conveniently at West Ashby Place and Lewis Street, is set to give students a hands-on experience in the funeral service industry, enabling them to practice funeral home operations with real clients.
