Each funeral establishment wherein a licensed funeral director practices shall possess at least one room for the purpose of embalming and caring for human remains and for no other purpose other than preparation that may be required by certain religious sects by certified members of that religious sect. The room shall meet the standards prescribed in § 13.174 (relating to facilities and equipment required).

Notes of Decisions Multiple Preparation Rooms
Although the provisions of 49 Pa. Code § 13.171 allow more than one preparation room, none can be separated from the funeral establishment by a public highway or thoroughfare without violating the definition of ‘‘premises’’ contained in 49 Pa. Code § 13.1 (relating to general requirement). Parise v. State Board of Funeral Directors, 415 A.2d 153 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1980).
