Summary:
In compliance with Chapter 687 of the 2009 Acts of Assembly, the Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers has amended its regulations relating to the responsibility of the licensee or registrant to provide current addresses. Every licensee and registrant is required to provide an address of record for use by the board, and is permitted to provide a second address to be used as the public address.
