The School

American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Service, Inc. is the only funeral service school within New York City. Going back 70-100 years, there were five.

The Renouard Training School for Embalmers - Founded 1895

The McAllister School of Embalming - Founded 1926

The New York School of Embalming and Restorative Art - Founded 1930

The Collier School of Embalming -Founding date, unknown

The American Academy of Embalming and Mortuary Research - Founded 1933

After World War II, three of the above schools closed their businesses leaving the McAllister School & the American Academy. It was decided in 1964 that these two should merge to form the American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Service, Inc.

Together, with our forefather schools, over a span of 80 years, AAMI has educated and trained some ten thousand students. For many years we enrolled many second and third generation students. Today, the majority of our students are first generation.

We have a long history and tradition in the field of funeral service education and we intend to continue well into the future!
