(a) All registered mortuaries shall have at least one viewing room, equipment, facilities and private lavatories suitable to serve the general public.

(b) All registered mortuaries shall be maintained on floor levels which are separate and distinct from living quarters, kitchens or other rooms that are ordinarily a part of the domestic household unit. If the registered mortuary maintains a break room, the room shall be separate and distinct from the preparation room and shall be inaccessible to the public.

(c) In the case of ranch type funeral establishments or other cases in which the architectural structure makes it impossible to have suitable parlors and facilities on a different floor level, the owner shall prove to the Board's satisfaction the existence of a proper division between the mortuary section and the living quarters of the building.

(d) All areas in a registered mortuary that are not used exclusively as living quarters may be subject to Board inspection.
