Which of the following is NOT a reason a funeral home can be inspected?

  1. First opened

  2. Change in ownership

  3. Expansion of services

  4. Receive a complaint

The correct answer is: Expansion of services

A funeral home can typically be inspected for several reasons, including when it first opens, when there is a change in ownership, or if a complaint has been received. However, expansion of services is not a standard reason for inspection. Inspections are primarily conducted to ensure compliance with regulations, safety protocols, and the general standards of practice, which are triggered by specific events, rather than the addition of services. Therefore, while offering new services might enhance the funeral home's offerings, it does not necessitate an inspection in the same way that changes in ownership or the receipt of a complaint would. Understanding this distinction helps in recognizing the regulatory environment surrounding funeral homes and the various conditions that prompt oversight.
