Tuesday Evening Publications
Tuesday Evening Publications was created to increase student comprehension regarding the science that drives the art behind the professional care and preparation of the deceased. Our goal to scaffold concepts from the various disciplines that comprise funeral service education and put them in context that students can more easily comprehend.
Company Motto: Always take your homies.
