Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science
Today we honor the unique and essential role higher education plays — including the specialized path of funeral service education. At our mortuary school, students don’t just learn technical skills; they learn how to serve families with compassion, dignity, and respect during life’s most difficult moments.
Choosing a career in funeral service is more than a profession — it’s a calling. We’re proud to educate future funeral directors, embalmers, and death care professionals who bring comfort, guidance, and humanity to their communities every day.
Here’s to the students, alumni, and faculty who make this mission possible. You are the heart of our profession. 💚
Randy Schoedinger visited our students to share valuable industry insights, offer professional guidance, and even conduct on-the-spot interviews. It was an incredible opportunity for our future funeral service professionals to network, learn, and take real steps toward their careers.
Our students came prepared—with resumes in hand and ambition in their hearts. Thank you, Schoedinger, for investing in the next generation of leaders in funeral service.
PIMS Offices are closed today. As summer kicks off, what are you looking forward to the most?☀️
