What is the maximum time a temporary supervisor is permitted at a widow's licensee business?

In Pennsylvania, the regulations governing funeral homes allow a temporary supervisor to be appointed to operate a funeral business in the event of the primary supervisor's absence. The maximum duration for which a temporary supervisor can hold this position is six months. This regulation is designed to ensure that the business is managed effectively while maintaining compliance with state laws and regulations.

After the six-month period, the funeral home must either secure a permanent supervisor or ensure that the business is operated under the oversight of an appropriately licensed individual. This provision helps protect consumers by ensuring that the business is consistently under the direction of someone qualified and licensed, while also providing a reasonable timeframe for the business to adjust or find a permanent solution.

The other timeframes, such as three months, one year, or two years, fall outside the established regulations, making them less applicable in this context. The six-month limit is crucial for maintaining proper oversight and regulatory compliance in the funeral industry.
