The San Francisco College of Mortuary Science, chartered by the State of California as a non-profit educational corporation, was founded in 1930. It has graduated over 5,000 people into the funeral profession. San Francisco College of Mortuary Science is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior College of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The College also has specialized accreditation from the American Board of Funeral Service Education.
Due to the high overhead of a small non-profit institution, the College has merged with American River College in Sacramento (Sacramento County).
The program (now at ARC) leads to the Associates degree.
