One of our our favorite days of the term is always Rescue Randy Day!

Our Funeral Management students got hands-on experience learning the ins and outs (and all the pro tips!) of making a successful removal. From operating a cot and maneuvering the "decedent" our trusty 180-pound dummy, Randy- to caring for an infant, navigating stairs, and conquering those dreaded flights of stairs and narrow doorways, students tackled it all!

These real-world skills are essential for providing professional, respectful care during removals, and our students did an outstanding job. We're proud of their hard work, teamwork, and willingness to jump right in.

Way to go, everyone! Randy survived another year, and our students walked away with valuable experience they'll carry throughout their careers. 💚

Ice, Ice Baby! ❄️🧊

For the 7th year in a row, tuition at PIMS is staying the SAME!

At PIMS, we believe in creating the best opportunities for our students to succeed… and keeping education affordable is just one way we’re making that happen. Because your future in funeral service should be focused on learning, growing, and achieving your goals not worrying about rising costs. 💚

This is who we are: a PIMS Family! 💚

Small but mighty, loud when it counts, and somehow always running the whole school like we’ve got a secret playbook.

When you see the magic happening… yeah, it’s probably us. 😄

We are SO excited to announce that thanks to your amazing birthday donations, Miss Winnie is sending a check for $500 to Paws Across Pittsburgh (she licked the envelope herself.)🐾💖

Winnie is thrilled to help other pups find loving homes and become the best companions they can be. We are beyond grateful for your generosity, kindness, and support in making this possible.

Thank you for celebrating Winnie’s birthday in such a meaningful way! 💚
