What occurs when a funeral director license is not renewed?

When a funeral director license is not renewed, the typical process involves the individual being notified of the lapse and given a specified period, usually 60 days, to remedy the situation by paying any associated penalties or fees for renewal. This allows the funeral director an opportunity to maintain their license without the necessity of undergoing a re-examination or facing immediate revocation.

The system is designed to encourage compliance and give licensed professionals a chance to correct their oversight in a timely manner. If a renewal is not completed within the stipulated timeframe after notification, the consequences can escalate, potentially leading to further action, but the initial response is the provision of a grace period and the option to pay a penalty for late renewal. This approach supports the practice of due process and acknowledges that lapses may occur for various reasons.
