Arkansas board urged to drop race in funeral home directory
Arkansas Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors faced calls to remove racial labels in the state funded directory. Board president Adam Robinson Jr. said the practice is a mistake and should be eliminated in the next edition. The issue stems from a 1985 manual that lists black owned and operated funeral homes, a practice defended by secretary John W. Baker as aiding shipping and body transfer.
