Graduated September 1973,..school was on dearborn ave. back then,..almost 47 years in funeral service. Worsham prepared me for a wonderful, rewarding career in the funeral profession. Would highly recommed Worsham to anyone considering funeral service.
Dennis Worsham is a great school. I really wish that I could have attended Worsham when I lived in the Chicago area. Known about it for 30 years because I’ve wanted to be a funeral director/embalmer since my sophomore year of high school. Unfortunately, illness them finances prevented me from attending.
Thank you for your care of person.
Very awesome video Kari.
Thank you...Questions answered😊
I'm considering going to Worsham and this was helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Such a great school!

Excellent Video, That college looks like a relaxed atmosphere type of place which helps people learn.
I'll bet they can't eat snacks or smoke most of the time they're in class.
I should hope they can't eat or smoke your digusting dude and your comment earlier was bloody stupid does the mortuary only half bill if the "body" is alive
Kari Lovely Lady When the woman you were talking with mentioned about "...everyone not being a bookworm", it made me think of what the architect Philip Johnson said about wanting to be buried in a library.[I go off on tangents]. Which made me think about one particular country in the Continent of Africa where custom coffins are made. Seriously, you can, for instance, have a coffin that looks like a Pepsi-Cola bottle!
Going off on another tangent: I'm Jewish and one particular fable I came across said that after death you wake up in a library. If you love books, it's Heaven, if you hate books It's Hell.
Excellent 👍
Kari Lovely Lady In 2017 a video went viral: An older woman was denied a liver transplant because it was thought her physical condition was too far gone. She lived for nine more days. A nurse named Olivia Neufelder, each day, held her hand and sang a song "[Angels] dancing in the sky", until the woman passed. Heartbreakingly beautiful.
I believe that is a casket business card holder I see on her desk. Nice!
Looks like a nice college! Are there many schools around the country?
Sounds like a really awesome college! Just out of curiosity, if you are "art challenged" how hard is it to learn restorative art? (I'm the kind of person who makes horrible looking stick figures haha!!)
Ryan Torres you will be fine. I can’t draw stick people but I can sculpt features with just a little experience you learn in class.
How do credits transfer between schools? I'm a high-school student taking dual credit/admission classes at Heartland Community College. If I were to attend Worsham in 2021 what should I do before transferring? Currently I'm only completing Heartlands basic requirements for an associates in science on the website it said to have completed roughly thirty credit hours before transferring including ten hours of extra circulars but other than math and biology/chemistry should I take a different subject to prepare for transfer?
Is it a 4 year?
RhettyforFun no it is not a four-year program. The longest is 2 years. If you have previous college credits, your program maybe shorter since some of your credits may be transfer eligible.
Hi Kari, a question came to me and I knew who to ask. Do infants go through Rigor Mortis? Also how different is the funerary process for an infant vs. an adult? I thought perhaps you might have a video regarding this topic or perhaps you could do one in the future. I've looked through your videos but could not find one on this subject. Thanks. Great Video here!
Woah, so cool! I was wondering if it would be possible to be buried in outer space? Sounds kinda weird but maybe that's the future possibly?..idk Great interview Kari!
@@KaritheMortician Wow, thanks..that's so far out :P
What about the online option? Is it still effective? This is the school I’d like to attend.
Yes they have a great online program
@@KaritheMortician Thank you for replying! I can’t wait #2022
Was kind of funny seeing the basketball tank top/jersey in the glass case. I'm not sure they have a team. LOL If they did, I'd pay good money to hear their fight song. 😃 Btw, great job Kari!
I missed my calling !!!
I’d fail cause I’d be to afraid to attend class 😂
Do they have mandatory CPR training just in case, you, you know, the dead body isn't so dead? The Doc or the Corner was drinking a little on the weekend and maybe missed the faint heartbeats or slow respiration. Have you ever had any cases where you had to call an ambulance because the case wasn't a case anymore? How does that get billed for partial services? Will Medicare or Medicaid pay for some of the work?

I was told by a FD friend of mine that the sooner after Death the embalming process is done, the better results on the deceased . But he also said he allows the body to lay in repose for a while to let the Soul escape.
I think you have a very good presentation as a Funeral Director. You have a very honest and trustworthy countenance. Too bad your not up in my nape of Penn's Woods. Thanks for these very interesting and well thought out videos. I'm still in a grieving process from my High School Sweetheart. And now my Son has been battling 4th stage colon cancer for a while. I'm blessed I had that vivid dream visit from her 17 years ago. It helped me get though a lot of loss.
