1. 1An ambulance was dispatched without knowing whether it would collect human remains. Under Oklahoma's Funeral Services Licensing Act, does that dispatch itself constitute a first call?

   1. A. Yes, when the ambulance is dispatched
   2. B. Yes, when the ambulance arrives
   3. C. No, unless the dispatcher knew human remains were to be picked up
   4. D. No, unless a funeral establishment owns the ambulance

   Answer: C

   Explanation: The Act states, "First call does not include calls made by ambulance, when the person dispatching the ambulance does not know whether or not dead human remains are to be picked up." Because the dispatcher lacked that knowledge, the dispatch is not a first call.

2. 2The Executive Director makes an administrative decision while the Oklahoma Funeral Board is out of session. An affected licensee seeks review, and the decision is not the specified examination eligibility denial. Which review route does the Board rule provide?

   1. A. Request placement of the decision on the agenda for the next regular or special Board meeting.
   2. B. File a district court appeal within 30 days of the Executive Director's administrative decision.
   3. C. Request an emergency hearing within 10 days of the Executive Director's administrative decision.
   4. D. Submit a signed licensee complaint to the Executive Director for investigation by Board staff.

   Answer: A

   Explanation: Under OAC 235:1-1-2(b)(2), affected parties may appeal by requesting "placement on the agenda for the next regular or special meeting"; the exception is a denial of permission to write the Board examination for lack of documented educational credits. This licensee's administrative decision follows the Board agenda route. The other options borrow distinct complaint, emergency, or judicial procedures, rather than this rule's review route.

3. 3Where must a written and signed complaint against an Oklahoma funeral licensee be submitted under the Board's complaint procedure?

   2. B. The Board president
   3. C. The Attorney General

   2. B. A certificate from the county clerk

   4. D. A sales license from the State Treasurer

   Answer: A

   Explanation: The Act says the organization "shall first obtain a permit from the Insurance Commissioner authorizing the transaction of this type of business before entering into any such contract." The permit must precede the contract.

   Reference: Ok Statutes Title 36 Current — 36 O.S. Section 6121(A)

5. 5How may a competent person assign another individual the right to direct disposition of the person's body after death under Oklahoma law?

   1. A. By an oral statement to a funeral director
   2. B. By a notation on a price list
   3. C. By a sworn affidavit naming the assignee
   4. D. By an unsigned memorandum kept at home

   Reference: Ok Statutes Title 21 Current — 21 O.S. Section 1151(B)

6. 6A death appears natural, but the family has selected cremation. Does Oklahoma law place the death within the medical examiner's investigation categories?

   1. A. Yes, because the body is to be cremated
   2. B. Yes, but only if the person died outside a hospital
   3. C. No, unless the death was violent
   4. D. No, unless the physician requests an autopsy

   Answer: A

   Explanation: The investigation list includes "Deaths of persons whose bodies are to be cremated, transported out of the state, donated to educational entities ... or otherwise made ultimately unavailable for pathological study." Cremation triggers investigation.

   2. B. No later than the second day
   3. C. No later than the third day
   4. D. No later than the fifth day

   Reference: Ok Statutes Title 63 Current — 63 O.S. Section 1-317(A)

8. 8A licensed funeral director is supervising a funeral-service act by video from another location. Which fact prevents this from being personal supervision under Oklahoma law?

   1. A. The director is not physically present at the specified time and place
   2. B. The director is using live video rather than a telephone
   3. C. The director is supervising only one employee
   4. D. The director is available throughout the service

   Answer: A

   Explanation: Oklahoma defines personal supervision as "the physical presence of a licensed funeral director or embalmer at the specified time and place of the providing of acts of funeral service." Remote video supervision does not supply physical presence.

9. 9While the Oklahoma Funeral Board is out of session, its Executive Director issues an administrative decision consistent with state law and Board rules. Before the Board acts on it in open meeting, what legal force does the decision have?

   1. A. It has advisory effect until a majority of Board members signs a separate written order.
   2. B. It has the force of a Board decision until the Board reverses or modifies it in open meeting.
   3. C. It has temporary effect only until the next regular Board meeting begins, whether or not the Board acts.
   4. D. It has no operative effect until the affected party's appeal period has expired without a challenge.

   Answer: B

   Explanation: OAC 235:1-1-2(b)(3) provides that such decisions have "the full force and authority of a Board decision" until reversed or modified by the Board in open meeting. The stipulated lawful decision is therefore operative now; an agenda date, signature, or lapse of an appeal period is not the stated trigger for its effect.

    4. D. The Attorney General

    Answer: A

    Explanation: The rule provides, "The respondent to a complaint shall be entitled to representation by legal counsel. All expenses for such legal counsel shall be paid by the respondent." The respondent bears the expense.
