Code 9620 applies to all operations of a funeral director other than employees qualifying for Standard Exception classifications “Clerical Office Employees” and “Outside Salespersons,” who would be separately rated.  Drivers are included within the scope of this classification inasmuch as the operation of vehicles such as hearses, flower cars, limousines, etc., is considered an integral function in the services provided by a funeral director.  Frequently, their drivers also have other duties in connection with the operations of funeral establishments so that there would necessarily be an interchange of labor.  Organists, singers and other musicians who are employed by the funeral director are also included within the scope of this classification.  Unless conducted as a separate business or enterprise, the drivers of ambulances employed by the funeral director would be assigned to this classification.

Embalmers and crematory employees would fall within the scope of this classification.
