Dent's Undertaking Establishment is still closed as of Monday night.

NBC Augusta spoke with the Georgia Department of Funeral Services earlier Monday.

The department tells us inspectors with the Secretary of State's Office will work with the Georgia Department of Revenue to inspect and take inventory of the funeral home.

But, as of Monday, the funeral home hasn't contacted the Secretary of State's office to schedule the inventory.

Dent's Undertaking Establishment did tell NBC Augusta they're still working on re-opening.

The state shut down the funeral home last month for failure to pay $142,000 in back taxes.

I've been a funeral director for some thirty plus years and have seen more than the mind could imagin, but to give total disreguard to the needs of the families we serve is a breech of our oath,and that is to take care of the dead.It's not always about the money,but about the pride you take in your chosen profession; and you really,really have to have a love for the business. SHUT THEM DOWN!!!
