(a) Licenses for the operation of funeral establishments and of crematories shall expire biennially unless the owner or proprietor of a licensed funeral establishment or crematory applies to the board to renew the license prior to its expiration. The application shall show the name of the funeral establishment or crematory; the names and addresses of all owners or, if the owner is a corporation, the names and addresses of all officers and directors of the corporation; and the names of all licensed embalmers and funeral directors who own or are employed by such funeral establishment or crematory or are otherwise connected therewith, together with the date of issue and the number of the license of each registered embalmer and funeral director as required. If the renewal fee prescribed by the board has been paid and the funeral establishment or crematory meets the other requirements of this article, the board shall issue a license; otherwise it shall be unlawful for any funeral establishment or crematory to operate in this state. Nothing in this Code section shall be construed to require a crematory to employ an embalmer in order to be licensed.
(b) Whenever there is a change in ownership of a funeral establishment or crematory, the board shall be notified within 15 days prior to the proposed change upon a form provided by the board.
