It is aimed at candidates who are completing or have completed the state's required education and practical training and who now need to demonstrate they understand the laws, rules, and professional standards that govern funeral service in Illinois. The exam is administered in a multiple-choice format. Preparation should combine close reading of the Illinois statutes and administrative rules that apply to funeral directing and embalming with review of funeral service practice and ethics, embalming science and restorative art, and the business, compliance, and consumer-protection obligations that apply to funeral homes and licensees.
