SB 1119 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of January 14, 1952 (1951 P.L.1898, No.522), known as the Funeral Director Law, further providing for restrictions and preparation room.

SB 1119 amends Pennsylvania's Funeral Director Law to require funeral homes to maintain a designated preparation room for embalming that meets sanitary standards. The bill prohibits serving food or beverages in areas used for body preparation and mandates that any food service must occur in a separate room meeting health codes. It also clarifies that a funeral director's license is valid only at a specific approved location and allows licensed directors to assist other licensed professionals in approved facilities. These changes apply to all funeral directors and funeral homes operating in Pennsylvania.
