What type of license is required for visitation and ceremonies only?

A Type D License is specifically designed for facilities that provide only visitation and ceremonies. This license allows funeral providers to operate a location where families can hold viewings and services without involving the preparation or burial of the body. This distinction is important as it aligns with the regulations set forth by the state of Missouri, which categorizes different types of licenses based on the services offered by funeral establishments.

In contrast, other license types, such as Type A, Type B, and Type C, pertain to different scopes of funeral services. For instance, a Type A License allows for a full-service funeral establishment that may involve preparation, burial, and holding ceremonies. Type B and Type C Licenses are typically linked to varying levels of service that include more than just visitation and ceremonies. Therefore, the Type D License uniquely meets the requirements for those focused solely on providing a space for such events.
