About CCMS
Campus
CCMS is located near Finneytown in Cincinnati, Ohio at 645 W. North Bend Rd., with easy access to I-275 and I-75. (Click here for maps/directions.)
Resting on sixteen acres of privately owned land, the CCMS campus was specifically designed to meet the needs of our students. Constructed in 1995, our modern and comfortable learning environment offers its own clinical laboratory facilities, spacious classrooms, specialized learning environments, student lounge, and theater-style lecture auditorium.
Classrooms
CCMS has a variety of learning environments designed for optimal learning. Our campus classrooms are spacious and bright, our theater style auditorium classroom is grand, yet intimate, and our applications classrooms are specifically equipped with practical learning aids and supplies by leading casket and funeral suppliers.
The campus learning environment is as diverse as our student body, and that’s a great thing! Diversity in a student’s learning environment has proven successful in yielding the best opportunities in hands-on learning of all funeral service aspects, from the variance in clinical products to the vast array of casketing and disposition products found in our specially designed merchandising classroom.
As a result of access to real world funeral service equipment and products available on campus, students graduate with the ability to apply their knowledge. Every student will experience the opportunity to orchestrate a mock funeral service from first call through final disposition. This allows students to apply what they have learned within a controlled environment prior to entering the workforce.
Lab Facilities
The Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science lab facilities are one-of-a-kind, having been designed and constructed exclusively for our student body. The campus boasts four independent labs organized specifically to provide unparalleled student practical experience in embalming, dissection, restorative art and cremation. Our facilities include two fully equipped clinical labs for embalming operations and anatomical dissection, a third lab specific to restorative arts curriculum application and our Educational Cremation Center.
CCMS is privileged to partner with area funeral homes, as well as with Cincinnati’s largest anatomical donation program. To facilitate efficient management of the clinical lab’s high case volume, the college employs students from each class to serve as clinical lab assistants and intake assistants.
CCMS students have the advantage over their competition as a result of their extensive practical learning. For information on hands-on clinical experience for distance education students, please click on each Lab below for more detailed information.
