§ 102805 Embalmer Signature Authorization

This rule lets an embalmer let someone else sign the required certificate after the embalming, but only if there is a written special power of attorney that is kept for a year.

Key Takeaways

•An embalmer can let another person sign the certificate after embalming.
•The permission must be a written special power of attorney.
•The written power of attorney has to be kept for at least one year.

Example

An embalmer finishes preparing a body and gives a written power of attorney to the funeral home manager so the manager can sign the embalming certificate.

Because the embalmer gave a written special power of attorney, the manager is allowed to sign the certificate, and the funeral home must keep that power of attorney on file for one year.

An embalmer may authorize his or her signature to be affixed to the certificate after he or she has embalmed a body, as required by this chapter, by a written special power of attorney that shall be retained for a period of one year.
