Under which condition can a funeral establishment operate under the name of a predecessor?

The correct approach for a funeral establishment to operate under the name of a predecessor is when the names of the owner or partners are included in all advertising. This requirement helps maintain transparency and ensures that the public is aware of who is actually providing the services, thereby preventing any potential confusion about the management and ownership of the establishment.

Including the names of the current owners or partners in advertising effectively communicates to consumers that, while the establishment may carry a familiar name, there are new individuals responsible for the operations and services being offered. This not only adheres to regulatory standards but also reinforces consumer trust, as clients can associate the services with the names they can hold accountable.

The other conditions do not specifically address the important aspect of public knowledge and transparency that is necessary when a business operates under a predecessor's name. Although approval from the Board, the original owner remaining in charge, or settling debts might have their own significance in business operations, they do not fulfill the legal requirement that ensures the integrity of the name being used in association with the current management.
