License Description A Death Care Consultant (DCC) license would be required when the individual is providing information or advice on matters related to funeral or final disposition arrangements including those matters subject to State or Federal regulatory requirements. DCCs may not provide any direct physical assistance with, or supervision of, the handling of the remains unless the individual also holds the proper license or licenses.
