Best Answer

The laws vary from country to country and in places such as the united states, they can vary by state and even county. The best suggestion is to first enquire with the local office for licensing. You may be able to obtain a mortician's or embalmer's license more easily than obtaining a funeral director's license. In some states there is a difference between the two as one deals with finance and legal documentation, where the other may not. It is also possible that if you're seeking such a license, you may be able to approach the court to have your conviction sealed. That's a hard push, but just a thought.

Can you become a funeral director without embalming?

It depends on what State/Province you live in. Generally, the answer is no. You must be able to embalm and pass a practical exam before obtaining a license. After all, if you are licensed without embalming, it is going to be difficult to find someone to hire you. Generally, funeral home owners would like their directors to be able to cover every aspect of the business. In order to obtain the correct info, I would contact a Funeral Home in your area and they will be happy to answer your questions.
