(a) Forty five (45) cases are required for the provisional
funeral director license program, at least 10 of which must be complete
cases. A complete funeral directing case consists of all major actions
from the time of first call through interment or other disposition
of the body.
(b) Forty five (45) cases are required for the provisional
embalmer license program, at least 10 of which must be complete cases.
A complete embalming requires the provisional embalmer to handle all
major actions included in §203.32 of this title performed on
a particular body.
(c) It is the responsibility of the Funeral Director
in Charge or the Embalmer in Charge, whichever is applicable, and
the provisional licensee to schedule case work sufficient to fulfill
the requirements of the provisional program.
(d) Each case on a case report form shall be certified
by the licensee under whom the provisional licensee performed the
work. Both the supervising licensee and the provisional licensee are
subject to disciplinary action if the information submitted to the
Commission is not true and accurate.
(e) The provisional licensee must file with the Funeral
Director in Charge or the Embalmer in Charge, whichever is applicable,
a report outlining the number of cases performed and the name of the
funeral director or embalmer under whom the cases were supervised.
If a provisional licensee adds/moves to a new funeral establishment
or commercial embalming facility, a separate case report form must
be started. If a Funeral Director in Charge or the Embalmer in Charge
changes, a separate case report form must be started. All signed case
report forms accumulated during the provisional period may be used
to verify the total number of cases performed.
(f) Provisional licensees shall retain copies of all
case report forms with supporting documentation for two years from
the completion date of the provisional program.
(g) Of the 45 required cases, a provisional license
holder may include up to 10 cases performed at an accredited mortuary
college whether or not the person held a provisional license at the
time the cases were performed and if the college certifies to the
Commission that the cases were successfully completed.
