Compliance Requirements for Funeral Homes in IL
Illinois funeral homes are regulated by the Illinois Funeral Directors and Embalmers Licensing Code, OSHA standards for formaldehyde and bloodborne pathogen exposure, and IEPA regulations governing the disposal of pathological and biohazardous materials.
