Does anyone know what kind of job I could get at a funeral home and/or cemetery without a degree?

Question

I want to go to school for mortuary science, but it is so expensive, and I am hoping to get grants from some where. If you have any advise, I would appreciate it :)

Answer 1

I would first do a search in your area for your local funeral homes.  Write an introduction letter about yourself and your interest in attending school for your Funeral Directors license.  I don't know what your financial status is at the moment, but you can get your foot in the door by volunteering  your services.  You may even be able to apply the hours toward your internship which you will eventually need to get your license.

Answer 2

I would go to your local funeral home and tell them you would like to learn mortuary science. Ask them if they know of any programs where you could learn on the job,or if they know of any grants available for mortuary science.
