WebCE, a leading provider of online professional education and training solutions, has released an updated funeral continuing education catalog designed to meet new state mandates for Michigan mortuary science licensees. The announcement comes in response to regulations effective November 1, 2025, from the Michigan Bureau of Professional Licensing, which require all licensees to complete four hours of continuing education annually during the October 31 to October 31 licensing cycle.
WebCE's catalog features courses approved by the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice, covering health and safety, funeral best practices, and ethics. Under the new rules, at least two of the four required hours must address mandatory subject areas including technical embalming skills, funeral ethics, grief counseling, occupational health, communicable diseases, state statutes, prepared funeral sales, and consumer protection. WebCE's offerings aim to help licensees meet these requirements while aligning with their professional interests.
"We believe continuing education should be more than just a regulatory checkbox; it needs to reflect the evolving realities of funeral service," said WebCE President Jennifer Haworth. "Our goal is to remove that guesswork, ensuring every course a licensee selects not only meets the new Michigan funeral CE standards, but adds genuine value to their practice."
WebCE offers courses such as What Every Funeral Professional Should Know About Alkaline Hydrolysis and Death Care Trends That Are Changing Tradition, providing opportunities to align new CE requirements with professional development goals. Michigan professionals can view the full catalog and enroll at WebCE's Michigan Funeral CE Catalog.
This release is significant for Michigan funeral professionals as it addresses the immediate need to comply with updated state regulations. The new requirements, which took effect in late 2025, impose a structured annual CE mandate that was previously less defined. By offering a tailored catalog, WebCE helps licensees avoid non-compliance penalties and ensures they stay current with industry standards. The inclusion of mandatory topics like technical embalming skills and ethics underscores a broader regulatory push toward higher professional standards in funeral service.
WebCE, recognized as a Newsweek Top Online Learning Provider for 2025 and a four-time Stevie Award Winner for Customer Service, continues to support professionals across industries. This move reinforces its role in helping licensees meet compliance while advancing their careers. For Michigan mortuary science professionals, the catalog offers a convenient way to fulfill requirements and enhance their practice.
