Support for Funeral Director and Embalmers Board Periodic Review
 

The Funeral Consumers Alliance of the Virginia Blue Ridge appreciates 

The periodic reviews for the Funeral Directors and Embalmers board seem to be appropriate.  The board considered reducing the required hours for interns, but only received negative comments from Funeral Directors.  It looks like they, therefore, left the number of required hours as 3000.  This seems that they acted appropriately.  The Regulations also added admonishment for sexual harassment in the workplace, which validates the significant number of women practicing in this field.  Another positive addition is the requirement that Funeral homes actually respond to problems identified at inspection.
