For how long can a funeral establishment operate under the deceased director's estate?

A funeral establishment can operate under the deceased director's estate for a duration of two years. This provision allows for the continuity of the business, providing time for proper transition and management of the establishment following the director's passing. During this period, the estate can make arrangements for the appointment of a new licensed funeral director or take other necessary steps to ensure that the establishment remains compliant with applicable regulations. This transitional period is vital, as it supports the grieving process and acknowledges the importance of keeping the funeral services accessible to the community without abrupt changes or interruptions.
