What happens to a crematory license when the Responsible Owner changes?

When there is a change in the Responsible Owner of a crematory, the crematory license is cancelled. This is aligned with regulations that ensure accountability and traceability in the operation of crematories. Each license is specifically tied to an individual who is deemed responsible for adhering to the laws and standards set forth for the operation of such facilities. When ownership changes, the prior license ceases to be valid as it is not transferable under the current laws governing crematory operations. New ownership must apply for a new license under the regulations that govern this area. This process helps maintain a clear line of responsibility and compliance with state regulations, ensuring that all crematory operations are managed by individuals who meet the necessary qualifications and standards.
