Career Objectives

In addition to obtaining my BBA in Marketing, I also plan on completing a funeral service program to obtain my Associates degree in Mortuary Science. After completing a one year apprenticeship, I will be a licensed funeral director.
The funeral service business has been in my family for generations. We currently own James H. Willie Funeral Home, which is named after my great-grandfather, located in Brooklyn, NY. James H. Willie Funeral Home has been owned and operated by my great-grandparents, grandparents and now currently, my father.
I have decided to join the family business by becoming a licensed funeral director, however my ultimate objective is to be able to own and operate my own funeral home in Philadelphia, PA.
