§ 7624 Funeral Establishment Ownership Limits

Key Takeaways

  • •Only one funeral business can operate in a single funeral home building.
  • •This means you can't have two different funeral companies working out of the same place.
  • •The rule is to keep things clear and avoid confusion for families.

Example

If a family wants to plan a funeral, they go to a funeral home.

That funeral home can only be run by one company, not two. So if 'Smith Funeral Home' is there, no other company like 'Johnson Funeral Services' can work out of the same building.
