The Pittsburgh Post Gazette recently visited PIMS! πŸ“°πŸ’š

Read about how our students are not just learning embalming; they’re mastering psychology, ethics, and the business of funeral service. As they train to be both compassionate caregivers and skilled professionals, they are reshaping this vital industry.
