How many licensed Funeral Directors must each funeral establishment have acting as FDIC?

In Oklahoma, each funeral establishment is required to have at least one licensed Funeral Director acting as the Funeral Director in Charge (FDIC). This regulation ensures that there is a responsible and licensed individual overseeing the operations of the funeral home, which is critical for maintaining compliance with state laws and regulations regarding funeral services.

Having a designated FDIC is essential for ensuring accountability and professionalism in handling the deceased and serving the families. This requirement is intended to protect the public by ensuring that at least one qualified person is responsible for the standards of care and ethical practices within the establishment.

While larger establishments may choose to employ more than one licensed Funeral Director, the minimum standard set by Oklahoma law is that one is sufficient to meet regulatory requirements.
