Introduction
ARC's Funeral Service Education program prepares students for entry-level employment in the funeral service industry, provides a strong theory-based curriculum and related clinical experience reflective of the current industry standard, and maintains or exceeds the standards put forth by the accrediting board. ARC is one of only two community colleges in California to offer a Funeral Service Education program.
Courses are designed to meet the prerequisite for licensure and employment in the funeral service industry as funeral directors and embalmers through biology, chemistry, funeral service management, embalming, restorative art, funeral service fundamentals, and counseling, accounting, and funeral service law and ethics. Coursework is conducted on the ARC campus, while the clinical component will be offered off-campus at local funeral industry sites.
