How many days prior to selling a majority of its assets must a provider notify the state board?

In Missouri, a funeral service provider is required to notify the state board at least 60 days prior to selling a majority of its assets. This requirement is in place to ensure that the board has adequate time to review the potential transaction and assess any implications it may have on the funeral service market and consumer protection.

The 60-day notification period allows for proper oversight and helps maintain the integrity of the funeral services industry within the state. This regulation is designed to protect both the providers and the consumers by ensuring that any major changes in ownership or asset management are transparent and properly managed, thereby safeguarding the interests involved in such transactions.
