James earned a degree in Business Administration from Champlain College in Burlington in 1970 and then followed in his father's footsteps by attending the Cincinnati College of Embalming, graduating in 1971; while his brother, John became an architect. The original entrepreneur of the business, (Louis Meunier) and his wife, died during the early 1970's.
