San Antonio College Mortuary opened for business to the public on June 3. The college has created a unique learning experience for its students to get a full understanding of how to prepare families for their loved ones' final goodbye.
– Opening a mortuary on a college campus has never been done, but it’s been the goal for Mary Mena, the mortuary science program coordinator at San Antonio College for more than a decade.
SAC already has two programs, a funeral director certification and an associate in science mortuary. About 20-25 students complete the programs each year. “We appreciate that we’re given this opportunity and the students really appreciate that they’re given this opportunity. And I think the other thing that we really, really stress is that this is someone’s loved one and they have entrusted them to us. And that’s something we take really serious,” she said.
