Which courses count toward my license?

Choose your state and we show only the courses your board has approved, with the hours each one counts for. If you hold licenses in more than one state, add them all to your profile.

How soon do I get my certificate?

Right away. As soon as you pass the quiz, your certificate is ready to download and print.

Can I order by phone or mail?

Yes. Call us, or print the order form for your state and mail it in.

I hold a funeral director and an embalmer license. Do I need separate courses?

It depends on your state's rules. Add both licenses to your profile and your dashboard tracks the hours for each one separately.
