497.376  License as funeral director and embalmer permitted; display of license.--

(1)  Nothing in this chapter may be construed to prohibit a person from holding a license as an embalmer and a license as a funeral director at the same time. There may be issued and renewed by the licensing authority a combination license as both funeral director and embalmer to persons meeting the separate requirements for both licenses as set forth in this chapter. The licensing authority may adopt rules providing procedures for applying for and renewing such combination license. The licensing authority may by rule establish application, renewal, and other fees for such combination license, which fees shall not exceed the sum of the maximum fees for the separate funeral director and embalmer license categories as provided in this chapter. Persons holding a combination license as a funeral director and an embalmer shall be subject to regulation under this chapter both as a funeral director and an embalmer.

(2)  There shall be adopted rules which require each license issued under this chapter to be displayed in such a manner as to make it visible to the public and to facilitate inspection by the licensing authority. However, each licensee shall permanently affix a recent photograph of the licensee to each displayed license issued to that licensee as a funeral director or embalmer.
