What must a provider submit along with their application for a preneed license?

In order to obtain a preneed license in Missouri, a provider is required to submit a consent for investigation along with their application. This consent is an essential part of the licensing process as it allows the regulatory authority to conduct a thorough background check of the individual or entity applying for the license. By granting this consent, the applicant permits the examination of their professional history, financial practices, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations, which helps ensure that they meet the necessary qualifications to operate in the field of preneed funeral services.

This requirement is designed to protect consumers by ensuring that only those providers who have demonstrated integrity and compliance with established standards can offer prearranged funeral services. The consent for investigation serves as a safeguard, providing oversight to help maintain industry integrity and consumer trust.

While other options like a listing of all employees, a marketing plan, or a resume may serve administrative or operational purposes, they are not mandatory components of the preneed license application process as defined under Missouri law.
