Funeral Service Practitioner
License Description It is strictly prohibited by Oregon Statute to practice as a FSP until you are fully licensed or certificated as a FSP apprentice. An individual practices as a FSP if the individual for payment is engaged directly or indirectly in supervising or otherwise controlling the transportation, care, preparation, processing and handling of dead human bodies before the bodies undergo cremation, entombment or burial, or before the bodies are transported out of the State of Oregon. Only an FSP or FSP apprentice shall: (a) Work directly with at need persons to arrange for the disposition of human remains; and (b) Coordinate and direct the various tasks associated with performing funeral services for at need persons including but not limited to: taking all vital information on the deceased for the purpose of filing the death certificate; arranging for transportation of the remains; coordinating the services for final disposition; supervising or otherwise controlling the care, preparation, processing and handling of human remains. There are two ways to become licensed as a Funeral Service Practitioner (FSP) in Oregon, either through the apprenticeship program or by reciprocity.
