What must an establishment do if there is a change in ownership, name, or location?

In the context of Missouri Funeral Directors Law, when there is a change in ownership, name, or location of a funeral establishment, it is essential for the establishment to notify the board within 30 days. This requirement ensures that the state’s regulatory body is kept informed about any changes that could affect the operation of the funeral home. Keeping the board updated helps maintain accurate records and ensures compliance with state regulations, allowing for continued oversight and support for practitioners in the industry.

Failing to notify the board may lead to administrative issues or penalties, as the board needs to ensure that all licensed establishments are operating under the correct name and location with appropriate ownership. This procedure safeguards public interest and ensures that clients receive services from duly licensed establishments.
