American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Service

The American Academy McAllister Institute of Funeral Service (AAMI) operates from a single building located in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood. This private, specialized institution focuses exclusively on mortuary science education and funeral service training, offering an Associate in Occupational Studies degree program. Founded in 1926 through the merger of two funeral service schools, AAMI maintains specialized laboratory facilities and a learning environment designed specifically for funeral service education. The curriculum combines technical mortuary science coursework with business management training, preparing students for state licensure examinations and careers in funeral service. Students commute to classes as the institution does not provide housing facilities.
