A Few Words From Our Graduates

Boy, what a year that I wouldn't trade for all the money in the world. The instructors were the best and many lasting friendships were made. Passed my National Board and my Oklahoma State Board test on the first go around thanks to DIFS... still in the business and thankful that God has given me an awesome gift to be able to do this job.

It is evident people from across the country recognize the continued commitment Dallas Institute of Funeral Service offers to people called to this work. It's a commitment honoring Mr. W.H. "Bill" Pierce's vision, another member of The Greatest Generation, and one I hope continues the test of time.

I am so pleased I attended the Dallas Institute and have sent family members and friends, because it's a school I trust. I would also accept apprenticeships from Dallas Institute.
