What must be included by a widow or widower in their application to continue practice?

The requirement for a widow or widower to include a death certificate in their application to continue practice is grounded in the necessity to officially document the passing of their spouse, who may have had a role in the business or practice. The death certificate serves as concrete evidence that the spouse has indeed died, which can affect the legality and administrative aspects of maintaining the practice.

In many jurisdictions, including Pennsylvania, when a funeral practitioner passes away, their surviving spouse may need to provide such documentation to ensure compliance with laws regulating the continuity of the practice. The inclusion of the death certificate not only confirms the situation but is also vital for processing any changes to licensing or operational requirements that may ensue as a result of this event.

The other elements, while potentially relevant to the overall business operations or financial structure, are not specifically mandated as part of the application process in this particular context.
