About This School
Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service is a private nonprofit institution located in Houston, Texas with approximately 254 undergraduate students enrolled. Commonwealth Institute of Funeral Service has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 86%. The average net price after financial aid is $44,047 per year. Typical graduates earn $37,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
This is a strong option if you're committed to a career in funeral service — the median debt at graduation is just $7,125, which is unusually low and means you won't be buried in loans starting out. The concern is that median earnings sit at $37,400 ten years out, so with a net price of nearly $43,000 per year, the return on investment requires careful budgeting and a genuine passion for the field rather than a financial payoff. If you know this is your calling, the low debt load makes it more manageable than most specialized programs.
