About this course

Compendium of Texas Laws: The Texas Funeral Service Commission is that arm of the Texas State government that determines the qualifications necessary for any person to practice Funeral Directing within the state of Texas. The Texas Funeral Service Commission is empowered to create laws, rules and regulations regarding the practice of Funeral Directing and Embalming. It is the responsibility of every-person wishing to practice funeral directing in the State of Texas to be familiar with these laws, rules and regulations.

The Texas Funeral Service Commission is a government agency and should not be confused with the Texas Funeral Directors Association that solicits voluntary membership in exchange for services provided to that membership.
