My comment on the above legislation is:  having two different licenses is the only fair way to do it.  This enables prospective candidates who want to pursue a  funeral directors license but do not want to handle the physical ( embalming) aspect of obtaining license. Some groups do not embalm their dead.  I would give people planning a funeral a greater pool of businesses to choose from.

With the pandemic there is a greater need for funerals.  Having two different licenses would alleviate the shortage of funeral home directors.
