When should written notification be submitted to the board by the funeral director in charge (FDAIC)?

The requirement for written notification to be submitted to the board by the funeral director in charge (FDAIC) being set at least 10 days prior is based on the regulations established to ensure that there is enough time for the board to process the notification and address any concerns if necessary. This timeframe allows for sufficient review and minimizes disruptions in the regulatory process.

The 10-day notification period is designed to encourage timely communication between funeral service providers and the board, ensuring that all parties are kept informed about changes in practice, such as changes in facility operations, key personnel, or compliance issues. This structure helps maintain the standards and accountability expected in the funeral service industry, as these notifications often pertain to significant administrative or operational changes that the board needs to be aware of.

In contrast, shorter notification periods may not provide adequate time for the board to respond, whereas longer periods exceed what is necessary for effective communication and management of operational changes. Thus, adhering to the 10-day notification standard supports regulatory compliance and fosters a respectful and informative relationship between funeral service providers and the overseeing authority.
