According to statutes, what activities shall be conducted at the funeral establishment?

• A. Any lawful business activity
• B. Only embalming, preparation and care of human remains and disposition arrangements
• C. Only activities incident, convenient, or related to the preparation and arrangements of human remains
• D. Only embalming, preparation and care, and transportation of human remains

Answer: (C)

What this tests is the allowed scope of on-site activities for a licensed funeral establishment: they must be solely those that are incidental, convenient, or related to the preparation and arrangements of human remains. The statutes are designed to keep the establishment focused on the care, preparation, and disposition process and the services that support those tasks. That means you can conduct activities that directly facilitate embalming, preparation and care of the remains, and the arrangements for disposition—and anything necessary to carry those tasks forward (such as coordinating services or handling related logistical steps). Broad, unrelated business activities aren’t authorized to occur on site, which is why this option is preferred over the others.
