When must a funeral establishment notify the State Board of any change in ownership?

In Oklahoma, a funeral establishment is required to notify the State Board of any change in ownership within 30 days of the change. This regulation is in place to ensure that the State Board is kept informed about who is operating funeral establishments, which is essential for maintaining oversight and compliance with state laws and regulations governing the practice.

Notifying the State Board within this timeframe helps in maintaining updated records, ensuring that the new owner is aware of the legal obligations associated with operating a funeral establishment. It also assists regulatory bodies in performing necessary inspections and monitoring for compliance with health, safety, and ethical standards in the funeral industry. Compliance with this notification requirement is a critical aspect of maintaining good standing within the state’s regulatory framework for funeral services.
