Arkansas Funeral Service Law and the Funeral Board Framework

Arkansas funeral service is governed by statute (the Arkansas Funeral Directors and Embalmers law, codified in the Arkansas Code) and by rules adopted by the Arkansas Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors. Candidates must know the difference between statute (enacted by the General Assembly) and board rule (adopted by the Board under delegated authority). Questions love to test which body does what: the Board licenses, disciplines, and writes rules; the legislature changes the statute; the Attorney General and courts interpret it. Practice of funeral directing versus practice of embalming as separately defined activities, and the fact that a single license may or may not authorize both depending on the credential held.

Licensing, Qualifications, and Renewal Under Arkansas Board Rules

Arkansas requires applicants to meet statutory qualifications: minimum age, good moral character, education, completion of an approved mortuary science program or its equivalent, apprenticeship/internship hours, and passage of required examinations. Candidates should be able to sequence these: education and apprenticeship typically precede examination and licensure. Know that the Board approves apprenticeship sponsors and programs and that apprenticeship hours must be documented. Expect questions on which exam is required (state jurisprudence and national board exams), the passing standard, and the number of attempts or waiting periods between attempts.
