FUNERALS & FUNERAL HOMES: Creates a subcommittee of the House Committee on Commerce to study funeral planning regulation and oversight

This Louisiana resolution establishes a subcommittee within the House Committee on Commerce to study whether funeral planners and end-of-life doulas should be regulated, licensed, or overseen by the state. The subcommittee is tasked with examining issues such as defining these professions, setting education and training standards, preventing undisclosed fees, and clarifying liability for licensed funeral homes that work with unregulated third parties. By November 1, 2026, the group must submit a written report with specific policy recommendations or proposed legislation to the legislature and the state's legislative research library. The committee will hold public hearings and seek input from funeral industry associations before making its final recommendations.
