We Changed Our Name!

The Division is now called the Division of Professions and Occupations, effective August 8, 2012. To help our consumers and licensees more readily locate and utilize our services, the legislature passed House Bill 12-1055 during the 2012 legislative session. Please note, the Division of Professions and Occupations will still be housed within the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). Services the Division currently offers will remain the same.

Inspection of Funeral Homes and Crematories by Other Governmental Agencies

Funeral Homes and Crematories may be inspected by other governmental agencies. For example, crematories are subject to inspection by the Air Pollution Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. This is just one example of such inspection authority. Please be aware that other entities may have the legal authority to inspect your funeral home or crematory as well. 

2012 Legislation

Legislation passed during the Legislative Session impacts the Division of Professions and Occupations. The Division is developing an implementation process at this time. Please check back in the near future to learn about any changes to rules, requirements and important deadlines.
