Which of the following is NOT a proper use of a funeral director's license?

A funeral director's license is a credential that certifies an individual to oversee and manage funeral services and related activities. The proper use of such a license is strictly regulated to ensure accountability and maintain professional standards within the industry.

Using the license in a place where the funeral director is not affiliated is not proper. This is because funeral directors must have a direct relationship with the establishment they operate in, which includes being responsible for the services provided and ensuring compliance with state regulations. Each funeral establishment should have designated licensed personnel who ensure that all practices adhere to legal and ethical standards.

In contrast, owning a funeral establishment or permitting the placement of their license at a location where they are employed demonstrates a legitimate professional relationship, as does using the license within the context of the business they are managing. However, extending one's license to a situation where there is no direct affiliation undermines the regulations designed to protect the public and maintain the integrity of funeral services.
