The Kansas State Board of Mortuary Arts requires that all mortuary college students enrolled and participating in a practicum course being conducted at a Kansas funeral home to pre-register with the board. Pre-registered student embalmers must be under the direct personal supervision of a licensed Kansas embalmer at all times during the embalming process. The term "direct personal supervision" means that a licensed Kansas embalmer takes full responsibility for actions of the pre-registered student embalmer and shall be physically present at all times during the embalming process (K.S.A. 65-1703). Pre-registration paperwork should be available at the mortuary college and is also available by contacting the Kansas State Board of Mortuary Arts at:
