State Licensing
Each state has unique licensure requirements for the funeral service profession. State requirements can vary as some require specific college courses prior to licensure. Worsham’s accreditation allows a student to sit for the National Board Examination in all 50 states, but applicants must become familiar with the licensing and educational requirements in the state they wish to be licensed. Worsham will assist any applicant with questions concerning any state requirements. We recommend that you check with your state funeral licensing board, as regulations change frequently.
