Amends the Funeral Directors and Embalmers Licensing Code. In provisions concerning the definition of "the practice of funeral directing and embalming", provides that removal of a deceased human body from its place of death, institution, or other location must be performed under the general supervision of a licensee, but the supervision need not be immediate or direct as long as the funeral director and embalmer provides direction and instruction in handling and precautionary procedures. Provides that except for transportation to a crematory, the transportation of a deceased human body to a cemetery or other place of final disposition shall be under the immediate, direct supervision of a licensee. Provides that transportation of a deceased human body to a crematory must be under the general supervision of a licensee, but the supervision need not be immediate or direct as long as the funeral director and embalmer provides direction and instruction in handling and precautionary procedures. Removes provisions providing that: a licensed funeral director and embalmer intern may remove a deceased human body from its place of death, institution, or other location without another licensee being present; the licensed funeral director and embalmer may engage others who are not licensed funeral directors and embalmers, licensed funeral directors, or licensed funeral director and embalmer intern to assist in the removal if the funeral director and embalmer directs and instructs them in handling and precautionary procedures and accompanies them on all calls; and the transportation of deceased human remains to a cemetery, crematory or other place of final disposition shall be under the immediate, direct supervision of a licensee unless otherwise permitted by these provisions.
