Summary:

Legislation concerning the status of funeral directors (and, subsequently,embalmers) has been introduced in several Congresses - beginning with the 105th- but none of them has been enacted. On March 2003, the Department of Laborproposed a new regulation [Section 13(a)(1)] dealing with executives, administratorsand professionals. The new regulation could have the effect, desired by the industry,of affecting the status of funeral directors and embalmers and of removing them fromovertime pay status.
