HB65 updates Alabama's burial-arts licensing by tightening which schools qualify and what graduates must have to become licensed as embalmers or funeral directors.
The bill requires the Alabama Board of Funeral Service to recognize only embalming schools that are approved by the board, or approved by the American Board of Funeral Service Education, plus other schools offering qualifying courses. It prohibits the board from issuing embalmer licenses to anyone who hasn’t graduated from a qualifying embalming school and met the required funeral arts coursework for a funeral director license. It also sets an effective date for when these rules take effect after the governor signs the act.
