Which agency oversees the regulation of funeral service practitioners in Oregon?

• A. The Oregon Department of Public Health.
• B. The Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery Board (OMCB).
• C. The Oregon Funeral Directors Association.
• D. The Oregon Cemetery Regulators Board.

Answer: (B)

Regulation of funeral service practitioners is handled by the Oregon Mortuary and Cemetery Board. This state regulatory board licenses funeral directors and embalmers, sets professional standards, requires continuing education, and investigates and disciplines licensees to protect the public. It operates within the state’s regulatory framework to ensure safe and ethical practice in funeral service.

Other entities described are not regulators: a broad health department covers public health matters rather than licensing specific professions, a professional association provides resources and advocacy rather than licensing authority, and there isn’t a separate Oregon Cemetery Regulators Board.
