DOES A LICENSED FUNERAL DIRECTOR NEED TO RELINQUISH HIS LICENSE IF HE WISHES TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE BURIAL OR CREMATION OF BODIES?
No, a licensed funeral director may retain his or her license even if he or she 1) does not work for a funeral establishment or 2) engages in independent work as a cemetery salesperson or any related activity. However, he or she may not act in the capacity of a funeral director, or hold himself or his services out as those of a funeral director when engaged in business as a cemetery salesperson or any related activity.
