Oklahoma Funeral Board Regular Meeting
The board reviewed updates from the Oklahoma Insurance Department and the Oklahoma Department of Health regarding licensure renewals and death record exchange procedures. Complaints were reviewed, resulting in actions such as dismissals, findings of probable cause for unlicensed practice, ethics issues, and non-payment of vendors, with several cases tabled for future consideration. The board voted to affirm various license and registration applications, including apprenticeships, funeral director assistants, reciprocal licenses, and changes to establishment or crematory licenses. The Executive Director provided a financial update, reported on licensee statistics, and discussed several pending legislative bills affecting the funeral industry. Additionally, the board prepared for discussions concerning pending litigation in the Oklahoma County District Court.
