What is a Type A License specifically for?

A Type A License is specifically designated for individuals or facilities that wish to conduct full-service funeral home operations. This license encompasses a broad range of duties including, but not limited to, the preparation and embalming of bodies, conducting memorial services, and managing the funeral establishment's overall operations.

By holding a Type A License, a funeral director is authorized to engage in the comprehensive activities involved in handling deceased individuals, which includes the legal requirements for preparing bodies for burial or cremation, providing necessary services to families, and managing the logistics of funeral arrangements. While embalming may be a key component of the practice, the Type A License is not limited to just that function; it reflects a complete operational capability in the funeral service profession.

In contrast, licenses focused solely on embalming or cremation would not cover the full spectrum of funeral home services, which is why those options do not align with the Type A License classification. The Type A License signifies a higher level of responsibility and capability within the funeral service industry.
