Operative words
Temporary Waiver of Rule for Funeral Home Directors During Coronavirus Emergency. Summary: Federal guidelines advise social distancing that includes restricting public gatherings, including funerals, to no more than 10 people due to the coronavirus outbreak. This is making it difficult for funeral directors to accommodate a grieving family's needs while still meeting federal and state guidance regarding social distancing.
Enforcement
State Board of Funeral Directors
Notes
For the personal-services memorandum: the board's own recital that funerals were restricted to ten persons.
