Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science
Founded in 1882, Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science is the oldest school of mortuary science in the United States and has earned a reputation for educational excellence throughout the funeral profession. For well over a century, CCMS has prepared generations of funeral directors, embalmers, cremation professionals, and industry leaders who serve families with compassion, dignity, professionalism, and technical expertise.
The college combines rigorous academic instruction with hands-on clinical education to prepare graduates for every aspect of funeral service. Students receive education in embalming science, restorative art, grief support, funeral directing, business management, legal and ethical responsibilities, cremation practices, communication, and family care. This comprehensive approach equips graduates to confidently serve families during some of life’s most meaningful moments.
CCMS continues to invest in the future of funeral service through scholarships, student support, educational innovation, laboratory improvements, extracurricular opportunities, alumni engagement, and the Cincinnati Foundation for Mortuary Education. These initiatives help ensure students have the resources they need to become highly skilled and compassionate professionals.
This auction represents an opportunity for alumni, funeral professionals, suppliers, community members, and supporters from across the country to invest in the future of funeral service education. Every registration, donation, and winning bid helps strengthen programs that prepare tomorrow’s funeral service leaders while preserving the tradition of excellence that has defined CCMS for nearly a century and a half.
