FINE Mortuary College Outcomes

Graduates earn a median of $52,844 in their first year, rising to $70,630 after five years as they advance in funeral service careers. The debt-to-earnings ratio sits at 43%, while monthly loan payments of $321 consume about 7% of typical first-year income. With 92% employment rates, most alumni find work as funeral directors, embalmers, or mortuary assistants in funeral homes across New England. The 44% loan repayment rate reflects the steady but modest starting salaries common in death care professions. Nearly 69% of students take federal loans to finance their specialized education. Given the strong job placement but moderate earnings growth, FINE offers an average return on investment for students committed to mortuary science careers.
