Wayne State University's Mortuary Science Building is opening its doors to the public. No reservations are required for Thursday's annual open house event, which draws hundreds of visitors, many of whom line up outside the building. The Mortuary Science Open House is free to attend. It began in 1991 as a small gathering of alumni, students and friends of the mortuary science program. The four-story building houses teaching and research resources in embalming, anatomy, restorative arts, clinical laboratory science and pathology assistant laboratories. The Wayne State mortuary science program began in 1939 and was one of the nation's first programs of its kind. The school says it still is the only accredited, undergraduate degree program leading to state licensure in Michigan.
