License Application
The Idaho Board of Morticians has two license types (Mortician and Funeral Director), please be sure you are using the application form for the license type you are seeking. The primary distinguishing factor between the two is that Funeral Directors are not allowed to care for, prepare or embalm a dead human body. Please see Idaho Code 54-1102(19) and 54-1102(11) for more information on the scope of practice for each license type.
