How We Verify

Families, police departments and funeral homes need to know the company they call is qualified. That’s why we only list companies we know are licensed, and why the Verified badge means a person on our team checked.

What we check

  • State license or registration, where the state requires one, confirmed with the issuing agency.
  • General liability and pollution liability insurance, confirmed with a current certificate.
  • Biomedical waste transport and disposal arrangements that meet state rules.
  • OSHA bloodborne pathogens training for technicians.
  • Industry certification such as IICRC, when the company holds it.

What the badge shows

The Verified badge shows the month we last checked. We keep license numbers and documents private, and we re-check every listing each year. A company that lets its license or insurance lapse loses the badge.
