About the Course
In 2019, the year before the COVID-19 pandemic, 203,099 Texas residents died (Texas Department of State Health Services, n.d.) and required the death care industry’s services. As the oldest baby boomers approach age 80, a need will arise for more funeral professionals to assist families in need. To protect Texans from fraud and deception at a vulnerable time, the state continues to update legislation to reflect the current situations and ethical practices. This course covers the most current versions in the Texas Codes. All of the information in this course was adapted from the TFSC under “governing laws.”
