CCMS Utilizes New

Funeral Planning

Software System

Mercer County Community College Funeral Service

CINCINNATI,OH—

The

Cincinnati College of

Mortuary Science

has

come up with a way to uti-

lize a high-tech funeral plan-

ning software system into

their Capstone curriculum

starting this school year.

Ad-

visor

by

Aurora Casket

, will

allow students to prepare

themselves for the future

of funeral planning. What

used to be recorded on pen

and paper can now be re-

corded on any Wi-Fi device

with cloud capabilities.

In their last term at

CCMS, students are put

into teams and assigned

a scenario in which they

must plan and execute an

entire mock funeral. In-

stead of recording and

planning this assignment

the old fashioned way, stu-

dents are able to use Advi-

sor to collaborate from vir-

tually anywhere; making

planning easier, more orga-

nized, and interactive.

“Our students are so ac-

customed to using technol-

ogy in their daily lives that

this program will come

as no shock to them, but

more of a help. As gener-

ations become more tech-

proficient, the traditional

funeral planning process

will go away. We are pre-

paring our students for

the future of our industry,”

said

Joe Main

, Instructor

and Clinical Supervisor at

CCMS.

Advisor is already revo-

lutionizing the funeral in-

dustry and is preparing

CCMS and other directors

for the future of their in-

dustry. For more informa-
