WebCE does not report course completions to the Washington State Department of Licensing - Funeral and Cemeteries.

Online PDF certificates of completion are available to print immediately after the final exam is passed. Licensees should keep all certificates on file for 3 years for auditing purposes.

Anyone who holds an active Funeral Director or Embalmer license for the State of Washington must meet all CE requirements even if they do not live in Washington.

The board may waive CE requirements due to illness or other emergency situations. Contact the Board for more information.
