Which group conducts inspections of funeral homes in Ohio?

The State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors is responsible for conducting inspections of funeral homes in Ohio. This board regulates the profession to ensure compliance with state laws and standards concerning the practice of embalming and funeral directing. It is tasked with issuing licenses, investigating complaints, and ensuring that funeral homes meet the necessary health and safety regulations.

While the Department of Health plays a significant role in overseeing public health matters, including certain health standards related to burial and cremation practices, the specific authority for inspecting funeral homes falls under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors. Local government entities may have some involvement in local business regulations, but they do not conduct state-level inspections guided by specific licensing laws. The Ohio State Bar Association does not have a role in the inspection of funeral homes, as it focuses on the regulation of legal professionals rather than funeral services.
