What happens to a Funeral Director’s license after 2 years of expiration?

When a Funeral Director's license expires, it does not remain valid or automatically reinstated. After a period of two years following expiration, the license is considered null and void. This means that the individual can no longer practice as a licensed funeral director unless they take the necessary steps to obtain a new license, which typically involves reapplying and possibly retaking examinations or fulfilling continuing education requirements.

The expiration policy is designed to ensure that licensed professionals maintain their competency and adhere to the evolving standards and regulations in the field. Hence, allowing a license to become null and void after an extended period fosters professional integrity and public safety, ensuring that only qualified individuals are permitted to practice in the industry.
