HB 2049 -- Funeral Directors

Co-Sponsors:  Relford, Seigfreid, Reynolds, Davis (122)

This bill allows the State Board of Funeral Directors and
Embalmers to issue limited licenses.  Limited licenses will be
available for persons wishing to work in funeral establishments
licensed only to perform cremations.  Applicants are required to
pay application and examination fees and successfully complete
the Missouri law portion of the funeral director's practical
examination.

The bill also exempts persons with limited licenses from
participating in funeral director apprenticeship programs.

The bill allows the board to grant license extensions to persons
who have allowed their licenses to lapse.
