Wayne State Open House 2009

Thanks to the help from sponsors we were able to attend the Wayne State Mortuary Science program open house. Kaul Funeral Home, Will Funeral Home and Frigid Fluid; staff made themselves available for questions and the student volunteer to greet and guide guests. It gives you a sense of the pride Wayne State has in their Mortuary program.

We were joined by some special guests; Lloyd Young, Dean of the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Services (far left), Matt Smith of Frigid (center), and Peter Frade, Program Director of the Mortuary Science Program at Wayne State (far right). It was an honor to guide them through the exhibit and express the pride we feel sharing this with communities.

There were many alumni that joined the event as well, many of which we have met at previous industry events.

With a line out the door most of the night, anyone can see how much this event means to the community. I spoke with a few people whom have attended in multiple years and some who expressed excitement about being future members of the program of study.

We were also joined by some officers and members of the Mortis City Hearse Club; hopefully we will be able to visit one of their events soon.
