Which license can perform both arterial and topical embalming?

• A. Funeral Director - Class 1
• B. Funeral Director - Class 2
• C. Funeral Director - Class 1 or 2
• D. Transfer Service Operator - Class 1

Answer: (A)

Embalming authority is tied to the license category, and performing embalming—whether arterial or topical—requires a license that explicitly grants embalming privileges. A Funeral Director with Class 1 privileges is the license that includes the full authority to conduct embalming, covering arterial techniques as well as topical applications. The other licenses either limit duties or do not include embalming privileges (for example, a Transfer Service Operator cannot embalm). Even a category like “Class 1 or 2” isn’t as precise, since not all Class 2 licenses authorize embalming. So the license that can perform both arterial and topical embalming is Funeral Director - Class 1.
