The Funeral Directors Licensing Reform Amendment Act of 2025 aims to update and clarify the licensing requirements for funeral directors and embalmers in the District of Columbia. Key changes include the introduction of definitions for "embalming" and "embalmer," the creation of a separate embalmers license, and the establishment of specific requirements for funeral directing and embalming internships. The bill also modifies existing sections of the District of Columbia Funeral Services Regulatory Act of 1984, including the renaming of certain sections and the repeal of outdated provisions.

Additionally, the bill outlines the qualifications necessary for obtaining a funeral director's or embalmers license, such as age, educational background, completion of internships, and passing relevant examinations. It mandates that interns must work under the supervision of licensed professionals and specifies the training requirements for both funeral directing and embalming internships. The legislation also includes provisions for the Mayor to issue rules and regulations regarding the licensing process and internship requirements, ensuring that the practices align with current standards and regulations.
