Which statement is true regarding the use of business cards in the mortuary profession?

  1. Business cards can be used by anyone associated with the mortuary

  2. Only licensed practitioners can use business cards

  3. Unlicensed persons are allowed to create business cards

  4. Business cards can be used by anyone without any restrictions

The correct answer is: Only licensed practitioners can use business cards

The correct answer highlights the importance of professionalism and regulation within the mortuary profession. Only licensed practitioners are permitted to use business cards that represent their services as funeral directors or embalmers. This limitation is in place to ensure that the public receives information from qualified individuals who have completed the necessary education and training required by law. It helps establish trust and credibility in a field that deals with sensitive matters surrounding death and bereavement. While individuals associated with a mortuary may have roles that do not require licensure, their ability to create and distribute business cards is restricted because it could lead to misunderstandings about their qualifications and the services that can be provided. This practice ensures that only those who can legally offer such services are advertising as professionals, maintaining ethical standards in the industry.
