What can out-of-state funeral directors or embalmers do in Connecticut?

In Connecticut, out-of-state funeral directors or embalmers are allowed to bring in or remove bodies from the state provided that they are licensed in their home state. This regulation ensures that funeral directors and embalmers who operate across state lines comply with the licensing standards set forth by their own state’s laws, thereby maintaining a level of professional accountability and ensuring that proper practices are followed during the transportation of human remains.

This stipulation is vital in facilitating interstate commerce in funeral services while ensuring that there is adherence to local laws concerning the disposition of bodies. It reflects the importance of cooperation between states in upholding consistent professional standards and safeguarding public health and welfare.
