Which of the following persons are exempt from the law requiring that an individual register as a Cremated Remains Disposer with the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau prior to scattering cremated remains?

• A. Licensed airplane pilots
• B. Licensed boat skippers
• C. Licensed embalmers
• D. Licensed funeral directors

Answer: (D)

The rule provides exemptions for professionals whose licenses already authorize them to handle disposition of cremated remains. Licensed funeral directors fit this exemption because their license from the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau covers the arrangement and execution of the final disposition, including scattering cremated remains. Requiring a separate Cremated Remains Disposer registration would be duplicative for them since they are already regulated and authorized to carry out disposition duties in their professional role.

The other roles don’t carry that exemption because they aren’t the licensed professionals whose duties routinely include the lawful disposal of cremated remains.
