Where must funeral home and embalming licenses be displayed?

Funeral home and embalming licenses must be prominently displayed within the facility to comply with regulations and to inform the public that the establishment is operating under the legal requirements set forth by state laws. This visibility helps ensure transparency and reassures families that the funeral home or embalmer is qualified and licensed to provide services.

Displaying licenses in a prominent location fosters trust by making it clear to clients that the funeral service provider adheres to professional standards and legal obligations. If licenses were only stored in a locked office area, they would not fulfill their purpose of informing the public. Similarly, limiting their visibility to only the board's official website or displaying them only upon request would hinder the public's ability to readily access this important information. Thus, the requirement for licenses to be prominently displayed serves both legal compliance and public trust.
