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 under this chapter and ORS 692. A person holding an FSP license is already registered to provide such consultations and does not require a separate registration. It is strictly prohibited by Oregon Statute to practice as a death care consultant until you are fully licensed. A death care consultant means: (a) An independent practitioner educated in the discipline of death care. A death care consultant is licensed to provide consultations to person(s) acting as their own funeral service practitioner who performs and controls death care services and final disposition of human remains; (b) The consultations includes any conference, information, guidance or advice either at time of death or when death is soon to occur. (c) The consultation pertains to any Oregon State or Federal requirements related to funeral or final disposition arrangements for human remains. (d) Death care consultants excludes person who provide general information on funeral or final disposition arrangements via educational classes or workshops, publications (printed or electronic materials), speaking engagements, or lawful tax or attorney consults.
