Rule 250-6-.05 - Renewal: Funeral Establishment / Crematory

(1) Each funeral establishment or crematory license expires on March 31 of even-numbered years. A license may be renewed with the submission of an application plus renewal fee prior to expiration.

(2) During the period between April 1 and April 30 immediately following the expiration of a license, the license may be renewed upon submission of an application and a late renewal fee in addition to the regular renewal fee. After April 1 and before April 30 the Board staff will notify the Funeral Director in Full and Continuous Charge in writing, at the address on file with the Board, of their failure to renew.

(3) Failure to renew a funeral establishment or crematory license prior to May 1 following the late renewal period shall have the same effect as revocation. Thereafter, the owner must submit a new application, the establishment must pass an inspection, and the owner and Funeral Director in Full and Continuous Charge, at the Board's discretion, may be required to appear before the Board to gain licensure. Any establishment or crematory failing to renew prior to May 1 will be subject to fines and disciplinary action by the Board.
