Agency Decision Summary

Section 54.1-2810 of the Code of Virginia requires a licensed funeral establishment to have a full time, licensed manager in charge. In its regulations, the Board has interpreted "full time" to mean working 40 hours a week at the funeral establishment. Given the provision in law that a manager must be engaged full time at the establishment, the Board determined that the 40-hour/week requirement was reasonable.
