How soon after an application does the board inspect a facility?

The correct answer is 30 days because the Missouri Funeral Directors and Embalmers Board is mandated to conduct inspections of facilities within this timeframe following the submission of an application. This procedure ensures that all funeral establishments comply with state regulations and standards before being granted a license to operate.

The choice of 15 days is too short for the thorough evaluation needed during an inspection, while 60 days and 90 days extend beyond the generally accepted period for regulatory compliance checks. Therefore, 30 days strikes a balance, allowing sufficient time for an in-depth assessment while ensuring that applicants receive timely feedback regarding their application status.
