Funeral Director’s Program – On Campus
The Funeral Director’s Program at Dallas Institute of Funeral Service, offered on-campus, is specifically tailored to address particular state or professional requirements. It is important to note that this program is not accredited by the American Board of Funeral Service Education. Graduates of this program will not receive the academic credentials necessary for licensure in states mandating graduation from an ABFSE-accredited program. This program is best suited for individuals in specific regions with unique licensing needs.
Funeral Director’s Program (Online)
The online Funeral Director’s Program mirrors our on-campus offering, designed to fulfill specific state or professional needs. Like its on-campus counterpart, this online program is not accredited by the American Board of Funeral Service Education. Consequently, graduates from the online Funeral Director’s Program will not possess the academic credentials for licensure in states that require graduation from an ABFSE-accredited program. This online option provides accessibility for those who need to meet specialized licensing criteria in certain locations through distance learning.
