"A
majority of the Professors are working in the funeral industry and that
allows for an all around better education as we are speaking from
experience. Smaller class room sizes give students and Professors the
opportunity to work on materials that may be difficult to understand."
Lauralee Davis, LFD; Guest Lecturer; Cooperative Board of Funeral Directors
As
an instructor at FINE, I look forward to working with each student to
help them achieve their goal of becoming a licensed funeral director.
Students travel from all over New England to attend FINE, and their
motivation to succeed is evident. They have a vested interest in each
class, since the curriculum is based entirely on educating current and
future funeral professionals. The small classes allow me to quickly get
to know my students, and to closely monitor their progress. I admire
their dedication and commitment as adult learners, and I am confident
that when they graduate from FINE they are well prepared to be caring
and competent funeral professionals."
Cheryl Amari, M.A.; FINE Instructor, Psychology
"As
a proud FINE alumna and now a full-time faculty member, the definitive
hallmark of the quality of a FINE education is whether I would entrust
my own deceased loved ones to the care of a FINE graduate and my answer
would be yes!"
Marsha
Wise,'02, FD, MA; Academic Dean, Associate Vice President for Clinical, Tutorial and Outreach Programs
"As

"As

be, a fascinating ride. Thanks to all."
Lyn Prendergast, Ph.D.; Executive Vice President
“FINE
is a school that really cares about its students. The standards
are consistently high for the students, the faculty and the staff. When
the students graduate they know what they need to know and we know that
we've done our jobs well. These are big reasons why I like working
here.”
Kathryn Semple
"My
husband, Bill, and I have had numerous occasions to receive the
services of funeral home personnel during the last two years. We've
much appreciated the professional manner and caring attitude of the
FINE graduates serving in these funeral homes."
The Late-Joanne Sperr, FINE Co-Founder
"FINE
is not a school for the weary. Your mind and heart has to be in it.
It's tough, but by studying hard and networking when the opportunity is
available you will succeed and have great friendships to cherish."
Susan Tapia, LFD; FINE Graduate
"The
professors, administration and staff as well as the entire student body
truly made my experience of mortuary school positive and one that I
look back upon fondly, knowing that FINE prepared me well for my
profession."
