Message from our President

Welcome to the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science … we are excited about the opportunity to show our college and for you to explore its premier clinical program and facility; solid core curriculum in Mortuary Science & Funeral Service practice and our outstanding faculty & staff

As you get set to look around our new and continuously updated site, let me take a brief moment to introduce myself…I am the product of a long and careful search to select the next President of this storied and proud school of mortuary science. (Link to bio…attached) Most recently I served as the Director, Port Mortuary – Dover AFB, DE. It was truly an honor to serve this nation in a time of war. And as the sixth president of CCMS, I will continue the great educational and practical efforts as we continue to develop the next generation of service providers.

Care of the Dead, Service to the Living…this has been, and continues to be, the foundation of this school and its dedicated faculty and staff. We want you to become the best…

  • embalmer/practioner
  • restorative/cosmetic artist
  • business person/operator
  • community member/citizen - leader

Thank you for “checking us out”. Let us hear from you….

- Ms. Karen Giles, President of CCMS
