    How do I get into Funeral Service?
    Each state has its own licensing regulations governing entry as a funeral director. Most require a combination of postsecondary education (typically Associate Degree in Funeral Service Education), passage of the National Board Examination, and service as an apprentice for one or two years.

    Do I have to go to college to become a funeral director?
    In most states the answer is "Yes." The amount of college required varies from state to state with the Associate Degree in Funeral Service Education being the most typical. However, requirements vary from no college to four years of college. Contact the licensing agency for the state in which you plan to work, or contact one of the accredited college programs for more information.


    For example, the state of Texas licenses funeral directors and embalmers, and requires that they graduate from high school and mortuary college. Texas undertakers must also pass a national examination and state law examination.
