Which of the following are not allowed in the embalming or storage room while remains are being embalmed or prepared without the authority of the person with the right to control disposition pursuant to Section 7100 of the Health and Safety Code?

• A. Licensed embalmers
• B. Registered apprentice embalmers
• C. Members of the clergy
• D. Students from accredited mortuary science programs approved by the CFB

Answer: (C)

Access to the embalming or storage room during the embalming or preparation process is limited to people with a direct role or to those whom the person who controls disposition has specifically authorized under Section 7100. This ensures safety, sanitation, and proper handling of the remains. Licensed embalmers are obviously allowed because they perform the embalming. Registered apprentice embalmers are permitted as part of the training and under supervision. Students from accredited mortuary science programs approved by the Board may be present as part of their education. Members of the clergy, though important for funeral services, do not have automatic authorization to enter the embalming or storage area during this process unless the person in charge grants explicit permission.
