After acquiring an existing funeral establishment, how long does the new owner have to apply for a license?

In Tennessee, the law stipulates that a new owner of an existing funeral establishment must apply for a license within 60 days of acquiring the facility. This timeframe is set to ensure that the transition of ownership is handled promptly and that the establishment continues to operate in compliance with state regulations. By requiring a timely application, the law helps maintain the integrity of funeral services and ensures that all establishments are properly licensed and adhering to the standards set forth by the Tennessee Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers. This requirement is crucial for safeguarding public trust in the profession and ensuring all funeral establishments operate within the legal framework established by Tennessee law.
