The State Board of Mortuary Science of New Jersey was created in 1948. The Board’s mission is to regulate the practice of mortuary science through the enforcement of statutes and regulations that set forth the proper manner for the sanitary treatment, disinfection and preservation of the deceased. The Board strives to achieve these goals while, at the same time, respecting each family’s religious values and meeting the high standards established by regulations put in place by the New Jersey Department of Health regarding the handling of those who have passed away.
