                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REGISTRATION AS A CREMATOR (§ 54.1-2814.1)

A. No crematorium, cemeterian, memorial society, or other establishment,
organization, or person shall cremate a dead human body without having
registered with the Board as a cremator.

B. The Board shall prescribe the procedures for registration under this section.
Such procedures shall include a requirement that any crematory registered with
the Board that engages in the practice of funeral services operate in compliance
with the provisions &#xA7; 54.1-2810. However, nothing in this subsection shall
require a crematory registered with the Board to obtain a license as a funeral
service establishment as long as the crematory provides cremation services
directly to or for a licensed funeral service establishment only and not to the
general public.

C. The Board may suspend or revoke any crematory registration or deny any
application for such registration, or refuse to issue or renew any such
registration, if the Board finds that the applicant or registrant has violated
any provision of this chapter, the Board&#8217;s regulations, or if the Board
finds the crematory has operated or is operating in a manner that endangers the
health, safety or welfare of the public.
