1. 1A funeral home advertises only a casket price. What accompanying statement avoids the specific misleading-advertising rule?

   1. A. The casket price is guaranteed for one year
   2. B. The casket is available only with a complete funeral
   3. C. The advertised price does not include other merchandise and services
   4. D. The price is lower than every competitor's price

   Answer: C

   Explanation: LAC Section 107 treats as misleading "advertising the price of caskets exclusively, without stating that the price does not include other merchandise and services."

   Reference: Lac Title 46 Part 37 Current — LAC Title 46, Part XXXVII, Section 107(A)(1)

2. 2A candidate for crematory retort operator licensure presents a training certificate. Which description, by itself, demonstrates both certification conditions required by the Louisiana board rule?

   1. A. A certified instructor used a board-approved process.
   2. B. A licensed funeral manager used a board-approved process.
   3. C. A certified instructor used an employer's standard process.
   4. D. A licensed retort operator used a national training process.

   Answer: A

   Explanation: "Applicants for a crematory retort operator shall be certified in the operation of a crematory retort by a certified instructor and a process approved by the board." Only A documents both required facts. The other descriptions omit proof of instructor certification, board approval, or both.

   Reference: Louisiana Administrative Code, Title 46, Part XXXVII — LAC 46:XXXVII.506(A)

3. 3A licensed embalmer is offered work by an unlicensed funeral establishment. What does the board rule require?

   1. A. Accept only removal work
   2. B. Accept if a licensed manager signs the case file
   3. C. Decline because a board licensee may not be employed by an unlicensed establishment
   4. D. Accept for no more than 30 days

   Answer: C

   Explanation: LAC Section 1107(F) states, "No one licensed by this board shall be employed as a funeral director and/or embalmer by an unlicensed funeral establishment."

   Reference: Lac Title 46 Part 37 Current — LAC Title 46, Part XXXVII, Section 1107(F)

4. 4How does Louisiana classify a bait-and-switch plan used to sell funeral merchandise?

   1. A. A permissible promotional-pricing plan
   2. B. An unethical or deceptive practice
   3. C. A valid preneed funding method
   4. D. A permitted direct-mail advertisement

   Answer: B

   Explanation: LAC Section 1301(A) says pressure sales tactics, "including but not limited to a bait and switch plan, and/or a sales commission plan," are unethical or deceptive practices.

   Reference: Lac Title 46 Part 37 Current — LAC Title 46, Part XXXVII, Section 1301(A)

5. 5After the death of a funeral establishment proprietor, the qualifying survivor seeks a special permit to work in management. What is the latest time to apply under the survivor's clause?

   1. A. Within 15 days after the spouse's death.
   2. B. Within 30 days after the spouse's death.
   3. C. Within 60 days after the spouse's death.
   4. D. Within 90 days after the spouse's death.

   Answer: C

   Explanation: "Permit must be applied for within 60 days after death of spouse." The filing window is 60 days after the spouse's death. The permit's separate maximum duration does not change that application deadline.

   Reference: Louisiana Administrative Code, Title 46, Part XXXVII — LAC 46:XXXVII.1901(A)

6. 6A Louisiana funeral establishment will hold an unembalmed body longer than thirty hours. What is the highest continuous refrigeration temperature allowed?

   1. A. 40 degrees Fahrenheit
   2. B. 45 degrees Fahrenheit
   3. C. 50 degrees Fahrenheit
   4. D. 55 degrees Fahrenheit

   Answer: B

   Explanation: R.S. 37:848(D)(2) says the body must be embalmed or "refrigerated continuously at a temperature not to exceed forty-five degrees Fahrenheit" when held longer than thirty hours. The maximum permitted temperature is therefore 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

   Reference: Louisiana Laws - Louisiana State Legislature — R.S. 37:848(D)(2)

7. 7Which group has an express exemption from the caravan and motorcade rule requiring enough space between vehicles for another driver to enter safely?

   1. A. A funeral procession traveling as a procession.
   2. B. A motor-truck convoy traveling outside a business area.
   3. C. A nonfuneral motorcade traveling on the same roadway.
   4. D. A caravan towing trailers on an open highway.

   Answer: A

   Explanation: "This provision shall not apply to a funeral procession." The specific entry-space rule in subsection C excludes a funeral procession; the other groups remain subject to that subsection when its roadway conditions apply.

   Reference: Louisiana Revised Statutes, R.S. 32:81 — R.S. 32:81(C)

8. 8A Louisiana funeral director has prepared the death certificate for a death the director is required to initiate. What must the director file under R.S. 40:50(A)?

   1. A. The original certificate with the local registrar.
   2. B. A certified copy with the local registrar.
   3. C. The original certificate with the state registrar.
   4. D. An unsigned copy with the funeral board secretary.

   Answer: A

   Explanation: "original only, and shall file the original with a local registrar." The director initiates the original and files that original with the local registrar; copies and other recipients do not satisfy subsection A.

   Reference: Louisiana Revised Statutes, R.S. 40:50 — R.S. 40:50(A)

9. 9A person deliberately displays a sign in a way that would foreseeably alarm attendees and disrupt a funeral outside the venue. Which time-and-distance combination falls within the funeral-specific disturbing-the-peace provision?

   1. A. Ninety minutes before the funeral, 250 feet from it.
   2. B. One hundred thirty minutes before the funeral, 250 feet from it.
   3. C. Ninety minutes before the funeral, 350 feet from it.
   4. D. One hundred thirty minutes before the funeral, 350 feet from it.

   Answer: A

   Explanation: "during the period beginning one hundred twenty minutes before and ending one hundred twenty minutes after the funeral or burial, within three hundred feet of the funeral or burial." The provision covers intentional disruption within 120 minutes before or after and within 300 feet. Only 90 minutes and 250 feet satisfy both.

   Reference: Louisiana Revised Statutes, R.S. 14:103 — R.S. 14:103(A)(7)

10. 10A funeral establishment and buyer have agreed to conduct an ordinary preneed transaction electronically, and no transaction-specific law requires a different signature method. A law requires a signature on the record. What is the legal effect of the buyer's electronic signature?

    1. A. It satisfies the legal signature requirement for the agreed electronic transaction.
    2. B. It serves as notice but requires a later handwritten signature on paper.
    3. C. It becomes effective only after the buyer sends a paper duplicate by mail.
    4. D. It has no legal effect until two witnesses sign the same electronic record.

    Answer: A

    Explanation: "If a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies the law." Under the stipulated agreement and absence of a special conflicting rule, electronic form satisfies the signature requirement. R.S. 37:877's cremation-authorization transmission conditions are a separate question.
