About This School
Gupton Jones College of Funeral Service is a private nonprofit institution located in Decatur, Georgia with approximately 338 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $29,047 per year. Typical graduates earn $32,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
Worth considering if you're committed to a career in funeral service — the median debt at graduation is a remarkably low $9,500, meaning you won't be buried in loans for a specialized degree. The concern is the median earnings of $32,700 ten years out, which is modest and leaves limited financial cushion, so be realistic about your budget long-term. This is a focused, single-purpose school that makes sense if you know exactly what career you want — not a place to "figure things out."
