About this exam

The Oklahoma Funeral Jurisprudence Examination is a licensing test that assesses knowledge of Oklahoma laws and rules governing funeral service. It is intended for individuals seeking licensure as funeral directors or embalmers, and for establishment operators who must demonstrate regulatory compliance. The exam covers the Funeral Services Licensing Act, licensing procedures, facility standards, preneed contracts, consumer protection, disposition of remains, recordkeeping, enforcement, and vital records rules. While the exact content outline is set by the licensing authority, candidates should expect questions that test application of statutes to practical scenarios. Preparation typically involves studying the Oklahoma Statutes Title 59 and the rules of the Oklahoma Funeral Board, along with the State Department of Health vital records regulations. Many candidates benefit from reviewing board meeting minutes and disciplinary actions to understand enforcement priorities. This page provides an independent overview and FAQ to help you navigate the exam; it is not affiliated with any official agency. For authoritative details on scheduling, fees, and passing scores, always consult the Oklahoma Funeral Board’s website.
