When should the board be notified in writing of a funeral home's closing?

The appropriate timeframe for notifying the board in writing about the closing of a funeral home is within 10 days by the Funeral Directors Association of Ohio (FDAIC) and the Funeral Directors of Ohio (FDUR). This requirement is established to ensure that the board has timely information regarding the status of funeral homes operating within the state. By mandating a 10-day notification period, it allows the board the necessary time to manage the implications of the closure on the licensing and regulatory oversight of funerals in Ohio. This timeframe reflects the balance between prompt reporting and the administrative processes involved in such notifications. Adhering to this regulation helps maintain an orderly transition for funeral services and protects the interests of the public.
