An Act relative to funeral directors

This bill requires all funeral homes and their branches (which prepare, dispose of, and care for human remains) to participate in a program described in Section 9 of Chapter 117A as a condition for maintaining their state license. It directly affects licensed funeral establishments by making program participation mandatory for continued licensure. The key provision amends existing law to add this requirement, effective December 31, 2027. This changes the licensing conditions for funeral homes without creating new programs or altering other regulations.
