Indiana is facing a shortage of qualified individuals who wish to become a licensed funeral director because of outdated licensing rules requiring that funeral directors also be accredited embalmers. It's time to separate licensing for these two professions! Please sign an support!

We are asking for support changing Indiana's current regulations regarding licensing requirements for funeral directors. Currently Indiana has a combination funeral directors/embalmers license. We are asking for support from funeral service practitioners, family, and friends to urge Indiana legislators to change the current laws by creating a dual license [one for funeral directors and one for embalmers].

It’s a collaborative belief that funeral service is a trade profession which requires other considerations to be addressed. It is a collaborative request that Indiana become a dual licensing state to attract more qualified individuals to funeral service. Please consider our request for review and change of current requirements for becoming a licensed funeral director and embalmer for the State of Indiana. We politely ask for your support with our request.
