(1) A Board investigator shall have the right to enter into and inspect any Licensed Funeral Establishment at any time for the purpose of inspecting such records and conducting such investigations as may reasonably be necessary to ensure that that Licensed Funeral Establishment, and its agents or employees, are in compliance with all applicable requirements of M.G.L. c. 112, §§ 61 through 65A, 82 through 87, and 239 CMR. (2) A Board investigator may visit any place where the operation of embalming is being conducted or where a funeral is in process of being directed, provided, however, that such visitation shall be made in a respectful and decorous manner. (3) A Board investigator shall in no way be connected with the work or business of Type 3 or Type 6 in any Licensed Funeral Establishment. (4) Interference with or obstruction of the Board or any investigator authorized by the Board in the performance of their respective duties by a registered person, shall be considered sufficient cause for suspension or revocation of such registration.
