The State Board of Funeral Directors was established by the
General Assembly in 1902. The Governor, with the consent of the
Senate, appoints the seven members of the Board for a term of two
years. It is the duty of any person carrying on the business of
funeral directing and embalming in the State, to have his name
registered with the State Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers,
and to procure a license to carry on the business of funeral directing
and embalming. Licenses are renewed annually, and the Board has
the power to suspend or revoke any license. It is the duty of the Board
to make rules and regulations for the enforcement of provisions in
the laws regarding funeral directing and embalming. In general,
the laws deal with qualifications and examinations of all applicants
