Since 1946, John A. Gupton College has been proud to educate generations of funeral directors and embalmers. For our 80th birthday, we’re celebrating the graduates who have been part of our journey along the way!

We asked our alumni one simple question: “What year did you graduate?” The answers made for a fun trip through the decades!
