House Bill 2286 amends the Occupations Code to require a funeral director who contracts with a customer to perform funeral directing, or an agent of the funeral establishment, to be present when the casket containing the human body to which the contract applies is placed in a grave, crypt, or burial vault unless interment or entombment takes place at a location outside Texas. The bill specifies that funeral directing duties related to interment or entombment services are complete when the casket is placed in a grave, crypt, or burial vault.
