If an applicant needs to increase functions, what must they do?

To increase functions related to funeral services, an applicant must apply for an establishment license. This ensures that the funeral establishment is legally authorized to operate and provide specific functions that may not have been included in their initial license. The licensing process typically involves a review of the establishment's operation, compliance with state regulations, and ensuring that all necessary facilities and personnel are in place to meet the higher standards required for the increased functions.

While it is important to keep the public informed about services provided, simply informing the public is not sufficient for legal operation. Notifying the board of directors may be a step in internal management, but it does not fulfill the legal requirements set by the regulatory body. Waiting for an annual review does not address the need for immediate authorization to expand functions. Therefore, applying for an establishment license is the necessary and appropriate step to ensure compliance with the law when expanding funeral service offerings.
