Launched in 1908, the University of Minnesota's mortuary science program holds the distinction of being the first such program created at a public university. This mortuary science curriculum maintains accreditation from the American Board of Funeral Service Education (ABFSE). The program emphasizes funeral service professionals' vital role as human services providers, active community members, mediators between grieving families and funeral practitioners, and caretakers committed to public health, safety, and ethical treatment of deceased individuals.
