Hey there everyone, I'm looking to relocate to the United States or the UK from Canada where I'm a fully licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer. However, the province that I am employed in does not require a written exam to become licensed, just a practical examination. My question is about the licensing exams and what they may entail? I know that they are different in every state due to some of the laws and regulations and whatnot, I 'm just looking for a round about answer to get some idea! Thanks a lot :)

Well, dont quote me, and i have no idea what is required in the UK, but here in the states, it wil depend on what state you end up working in, as tey all have diffeent requirements. It will also depend on how long you have been fully licensed in canada.

In Tx for instance, if you have been licensed for 5+ years, all you would need to do is take the state law test which is open book 50 questions and they give you 2 hours to take it.

The best thing to do is figure out what state or states you want to relocate to, and see what requirements each has, most states will reciprocate fully if you have passed the national board and will just have to take a state test.

I hope this helps you out and good luck with the relocate.

nfda.org is the website for the national funeral directors association and has a page explaining what the requirements in each state are. Also i have been told but am not 100% on that in some states, you have to be liscensed for a certain amount of years to be eligiblew just to take the law examination without re doiing your residency.... but dont quote me on it :-)

I tend to disagree alittle with the other answer. In most states they require you to past the conference exam and their state law exam. California is the only state that has their own test, I think, and they don't use the conference exam and Colorado doesn't require any license.
