# Director in charge

A term used when buying funeral home.

In Florida, the licensed director a funeral home must name, in charge of two sites at most within 75 miles.

Every establishment names a funeral director in charge, and that one person decides what a second or third home costs. Florida lets a director be in charge of no more than two locations, counting funeral homes, direct disposal establishments, centralized embalming facilities and cinerators, and only while the two sit within 75 miles in a straight line. Where a home has an embalming room, that director must hold an embalmer license as well. Each address is licensed as its own establishment, and a change of owner means relicensure and a new inspection. The one cheap satellite the statute allows is a visitation chapel of 500 to 700 square feet in the same county, open only while a licensed director is there. So a third home means another director's salary, and a seller in charge of two homes leaves both needing one at closing. Texas makes the designated director ultimately responsible for compliance with the mortuary laws.
