Welcome to the Funeral Home and Crematory Homepage
The Colorado Office of Funeral Home and Crematory Registration (Program) regulates funeral homes and crematories in the State of Colorado. Program activities include registration of funeral homes and crematories, investigation of complaints, and enforcement of disciplinary actions against those who violate the Mortuary Science Code and the Office of Funeral Home and Crematory Registration Rules. The Program's mission is to maintain the profession's integrity and protect its consumers.
The Colorado Office of Policy, Research and Regulatory Reform is currently conducting a sunset review of the Funeral Home and Crematory Program. Analysis is performed to determine if the program is necessary and should be continued, modified, or repealed. To provide input on this review, please visit COPRRR's website.
