Requirements to Open a Funeral Home

Building Codes

Funeral homes are required by the federal government to have certain amenities throughout. First, the preparation room or embalming room must be in a basement area, secluded from the remaining portion of the funeral home. The room is required to have proper ventilation with at least two vents on an outside wall as well as drains in the floor with plumbing separate from the main pipes. All funeral homes must be handicap-accessible as well. A casket and burial vault display room is required to be on the main level of the funeral home, most commonly attached to a room used to meet with arranging families. Any form of a kitchen or dining area is strictly prohibited on the main and lower floors of a funeral home where a deceased body may exist. Each funeral home must also have a windowless concrete room with a flame-resistant door and flame-resistant files. This is so that if a funeral home were to ever burn down, all the records and files would be preserved. Records and files must be kept for a minimum of seven years within a funeral home.

Funeral homes need a variety of pigmenting and preserving chemicals, powders and cremes to preserve the body. Adequate protection such as eye goggles, disposable aprons and shoe covers are also required. Chemicals used to treat conditions such as jaundice, gangrene and skin slip should also be available.

We have decided to purchase another home.
One larger then we have now. Morgan has his eye on a bank own Mortuary.
Well it’s been a Mortuary for 20 years now but originally it was just a large home.
It’s a two story on three lots and can be use for residential or business.
He put an offer in on it today. I can see the potential for the place being a nice house
but the thought of it being a mortuary kind of creeps me out
