A funeral director can be the FDIC for how many establishments under specific conditions?

In Oklahoma, under specific conditions, a funeral director can be the Funeral Director in Charge (FDIC) for up to three establishments. This provision recognizes the operational flexibility needed in the funeral service industry while ensuring that each establishment maintains a level of supervision and regulatory compliance.

The rationale behind allowing a funeral director to oversee multiple establishments includes allowing for shared resources among smaller funeral homes, particularly in areas with fewer licensed professionals. However, it's essential that the funeral director can maintain the necessary oversight and management required to comply with state laws and professional standards at each location. Therefore, the three- establishment rule ensures that the quality of service and compliance with regulations are prioritized while also accommodating the practical realities of the profession.

This regulatory framework helps to uphold standards in the industry while balancing operational efficiencies.
