Which requirement is NOT applicable to establishments with embalming facilities?

The requirement that establishments with embalming facilities must be open for public visitation at all times is not applicable. In Missouri, while funeral homes with embalming facilities are expected to operate in a way that maintains public accessibility, they are not mandated to be open at all times for public visitation. There can be specific hours of operation that match the needs of the business and the community it serves.

On the other hand, complying with local zoning laws, paying an annual licensing fee, and keeping a register book in the prep room are essential operational requirements for these establishments. Local zoning compliance ensures that the business is within the appropriate areas designated for funeral services. The annual licensing fee is a standard regulatory requirement to maintain operational legitimacy and oversight, and maintaining a register book in the prep room is crucial for record-keeping and legal accountability concerning the embalming process and handling of human remains. Thus, the stipulation about public visitation is less stringent compared to the other operational requirements.
