Notice - 11/8/22
Regarding Tropical Storm Nicole and Hurricane Preparations for Future Storms
Tropical Storm Nicole is expected to become a hurricane prior to making landfall along the east coast of Florida. Since this is a large storm, many Florida counties will be impacted with wind and/or flooding issues. In anticipation of inclement weather resulting from this or future storms, we want to remind our licensees of the following. This information was also directly provided to our licensed establishments by email on Tuesday, 11/8/22.
1. Hurricane preparation and aftermath information
State, county, and city governments provide a lot of information on preparing for natural disasters, including hurricanes. One great resource is found at the Department of Financial Services’ website at: https://myfloridacfo.com/Division/Consumers/storm/. You may also wish to visit https://www.floridadisaster.org/ for more information regarding general hurricane preparedness, including emergency planning for businesses at https://www.floridadisaster.org/business/planning-for-businesses/. These sites also provide helpful information on filing claims and other issues that may arise after a storm.
2. Power outages
If you have a refrigeration unit, and your facility or unit is damaged or otherwise inoperable due to a hurricane or other natural disaster, please consider the following options:
- Contact another local funeral establishment to see if they might have space available; or
- Contact your local county emergency management. Contact information for the Emergency Management Directors of each county is found in the document linked below, which was provided to us by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. Your county emergency management will coordinate with the state’s emergency management team or others as may be necessary to assist you.
3. E-filing of Death Certificate Notices
At this time, the Electronic Death Registration System (EDRS) is not expected to be impacted by Tropical Storm Nicole. We recognize, however, that your accessibility to the system may be limited due to power outages in your own areas. The Florida Department of Health – Bureau of Vital Statistics recently sent an email to its list of funeral directors reminding them that licensees should print several blank copies of its death certificate form (DH512), fetal death form (DH428), and burial transit permit (DH326) in preparation for possible power outages and downtime. If EDRS is not accessible for an extended period of time but power is available, then the aforementioned forms are available as an enterable pdf and may be used to complete the death record. Please print the forms double-sided on legal sized (8 ½ x 14) paper. Once completed and signed, you may file the paper form at the local county vital statistics office for registration.
The Bureau of Vital Statistics Helpdesk (1-866-295-5902) has also advised that it is available: M - F 8am - 6pm, and Sat 9am - 2pm ET. Their Quality Assurance unit is also available at 904-359-6900 ext. 9020 and you may reach Ken Jones at 904-359-6900 ext. 1001.
4. Hurricane Follow-up
Following a hurricane, Division staff will be calling the licensed establishments in the impacted areas to obtain information on any power outage issues, building damages, etc., and determine if there are any needs with which we can assist. If your establishment has refrigeration/storage space available at that time, please let our staff know so that they can share that information with other licensees in the area who may need that type of assistance.
5. Division of Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services’ Offices
Office closures during the week will depend upon the path, duration, and impact of the storm. If you have attempted to reach the Division at its main line (850-413-3039 or toll free in Florida at 1-800-323-2627) without success, please leave a message. Division staff will return your call as soon as possible following the storm.

Important Notices Regarding COVID-19
Aviso sobre la Directiva 2020-12 del Oficial Principal de FinanzasEl Oficial Principal de Finanzas Jimmy Patronis formalizó la Directiva 2020-12. La directiva promueve la salud y la seguridad pública mediante la exención de determinados requisitos para la emisión de licencias de la Florida de profesionales activos de los servicios funerarios con licencia fuera del estado para permitir que presten servicios relacionados con la disposición final de restos humanos en la Florida en estos tiempos de suma necesidad. Haga clic aquí para ver la Directiva del Oficial Principal de Finanzas 2020-12 |
Posible Fuente Adicional de Equipos de Protección Personal (EPP)Many businesses licensed under Chapter 497, Florida Statutes, may now request various forms of PPE from the state’s Division of Emergency Management. The Division of Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services is pleased to assist in this request process by reviewing and coordinating the licensees’ PPE requests with the Division of Emergency Management. To request supplies, licensees should carefully review and follow instructions contained in the Información sobre Solicitudes de Equipos de Protección Personal (EPP) para la División de Manejo de Emergencias. Los titulares de licencias solicitantes también deben completar y enviar el PPE Request Form por email tal como se indica en el formulario para que su solicitud se tenga en cuenta. Es preferible que se complete el formulario de manera electrónica usando Microsoft Excel. Hay varios factores que se deben considerar antes de presentar una solicitud. Las empresas primero deben tratar de obtener los EPP por medio de sus cadenas de suministro disponibles antes de enviar una solicitud. Además, como la cantidad de EPP es limitada en todas las ocupaciones, es posible que las empresas no reciban los EPP solicitados. Por lo tanto, se recomienda que las empresas continúen tratando de conseguir los EPP por otros medios, incluso después de enviar la solicitud mediante este proceso. Finalmente, en algún momento, los insumos de EPP obtenidos a través de la División de Manejo de Emergencias se facturarán a los titulares de licencia, tal como ocurriría si obtuvieran los insumos a través de su cadena de suministro privada. The PPE request process is the result of joint efforts between the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Division of Emergency Management, the state’s Emergency Operations Center, the Florida Department of Health, and Florida’s deathcare associations – the FCCFA, IFDF, FMA, and FMBA. If you have questions or need assistance with the request process, please email Division Director Mary Schwantes at Mary.Schwantes@myfloridacfo.com o la Subdirectora de la División Ellen Simon a Ellen.Simon@myfloridacfo.com. Es posible que los representantes de las asociaciones FCCFA, IFDF, FMA y FMBA también puedan ayudarlo. |
Aviso sobre la Directiva 2020-08 del Oficial Principal de FinanzasEl Oficial Principal de Finanzas Jimmy Patronis formalizó la Directiva 2020-08. La directiva promueve la seguridad y salud pública mediante la suspensión de la sección 872-03, E. F., que exige un período de espera de 48 horas para la cremación de restos humanos. La Directiva también suspende las normas administrativas que impiden que los establecimientos funerarios utilicen servicios de cremación, refrigeración, embalsamamiento o retiro de lugares ubicados a más de 75 millas de distancia. Finalmente, la Directiva otorga a la División de Funerales, Cementerios y Servicios al Consumidor la autoridad para aprobar licencias limitadas para profesionales jubilados que tenían licencias, en cualquier estado, de director funerario o embalsamador, licencias combinadas de director funerario y embalsamador o licencias de enterrador directo en estos tiempos de necesidades críticas, tal como se estipula en la sección 497.143, E. F. |
