For how long may an establishment continue operations from another location after being destroyed?

An establishment that has been destroyed is permitted to continue operations from another location for a duration of 6 months. This time frame allows the business to transition its operations while making necessary arrangements for rebuilding or relocating permanently. It recognizes the challenges a business may face after a catastrophic event, providing a reasonable amount of time to sustain operations and serve its clients without significant disruption.

This time limit is important in the context of regulatory compliance, ensuring that establishments do not operate indefinitely from a temporary location without adhering to the requirements for re-establishing their primary facilities or obtaining necessary licenses for a permanent new site. This process helps maintain the integrity and safety standards expected in the funeral service industry.

The other options either exceed the reasonable operational grace period or do not provide enough time for planning and restructuring.
