The funeral establishment shall correct an existing violation within 20 days, and the board shall reinspect the premises. An uncorrected violation is cause for revocation of license. The board may extend this time at its discretion. If at the time of renewal of the establishment license there is a violation, the establishment license may not be renewed, but a temporary license may be issued for 30 days to allow time for correction of the violation. A funeral establishment shall pay the costs of the second and subsequent reinspections.

A funeral establishment shall be open for inspection between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Refusal of inspection is cause for not renewing an establishment license as well as grounds for revoking an establishment license.
