True or False: If part of a funeral establishment's facilities are in a separate building, a separate establishment license is required unless the buildings are joined by a passage, walk, or driveway.

The statement is true because Missouri law requires that if a funeral establishment operates in multiple buildings, each separate location must have its own establishment license unless the buildings are physically connected in a manner that allows for easy access between them—such as through a passage, walk, or driveway. This regulation is designed to ensure that all facilities providing funeral services meet the same operational and regulatory standards.

The rationale behind requiring a separate establishment license for unconnected buildings is to maintain oversight and compliance with funeral service regulations. Each licensed establishment must adhere to specific standards for the care and handling of human remains, as well as operational codes that may vary from location to location. Therefore, if a funeral establishment has different facilities that are not interconnected, they would each need to be licensed separately to confirm that they individually comply with state regulations.
