## What Is Class Code 9670?

Class code 9670 covers funeral directors who also perform embalming, as well as licensed embalmers and their assistants. Embalming involves exposure to formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and other preservative chemicals that pose significant health risks with long-term exposure. Florida's large elderly population and the state's warm climate — which accelerates decomposition — make embalming services a critical part of the funeral industry.

## Who Does Class Code 9670 Apply To?

Licensed embalmers, funeral directors who perform embalming, and embalming assistants.

## How to Calculate Workers' Comp Premium for Class Code 9670

**Formula:** (Annual Payroll ÷ 100) × $1.42 × Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

| Annual Payroll | EMR 0.80 | EMR 1.00 | EMR 1.20 |

| $250,000 | $2840 | $3550 | $4260 |
