SECTION 1: INDIANA STATE BOARD OF FUNERAL AND CEMETERY SERVICES
REGULATIONS Q1 – Q13
══════════════════════════════════════
Question 1 of 50
John has recently completed his apprenticeship and passed the Indiana Funeral Director exam.
He is eager to start signing contracts as a licensed funeral director but has not yet received his
physical license in the mail from the state board. Under current regulations, when is John legally
authorized to begin practicing?
A. He must wait until he physically possesses the pocket license to verify his credentials.
B. He can practice immediately after passing the exam because the test score acts as a temporary
permit.
C. He is authorized to practice upon notification of licensure by the Board, even before the
physical document arrives.
,2
D. He must wait 30 days from the date of the exam to ensure the score has been officially
recorded.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Indiana law authorizes a practitioner to begin their duties upon the Board's issuance of
the license, which occurs once all requirements are met, not upon the physical delivery of the
document. Waiting for the physical license (A) or an arbitrary 30-day period (D) is unnecessary
and would delay employment. The test score alone (B) does not grant the legal status of
licensure.
Question 2 of 50
Sarah, a licensed funeral director in Indiana, wants to ensure her establishment remains
compliant with state regulations regarding continuing education. How many hours of continuing
education must she complete during each annual renewal period to maintain her license?
A. She must complete a minimum of 5 hours of continuing education annually.
B. She is required to complete 10 hours of continuing education each year.
C. The state requires 15 hours of continuing education every two years.
D. She is exempt from continuing education requirements as long as she is actively employed.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Indiana regulations mandate that licensed funeral directors complete a minimum of 10
hours of continuing education each year to renew their license. While some states have 2-year
cycles (C) or lower hour requirements (A), Indiana strictly enforces the 10-hour annual standard.
Active employment (D) does not grant an exemption from the educational requirement.
Question 3 of 50
, 3
A funeral home in Indianapolis is redesigning its entrance and needs to know the requirements
for signage. According to state board regulations regarding the display of the license, where must
the current establishment license be displayed?
A. It may be kept in the manager's office as long as it is available upon request.
B. It must be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises where the public can easily see it.
C. It only needs to be displayed during the initial inspection and can then be filed away.
D. It should be placed in the preparation room for staff reference only.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The establishment license must be displayed conspicuously in the public areas of the
funeral home to ensure transparency and compliance. Keeping it in an office (A) or the
preparation room (D) violates the requirement for public visibility, and removing it after
inspection (C) is not permitted.
Question 4 of 50
A licensed funeral director, Michael, decides to move his residence from Indianapolis to Fort
Wayne, changing his contact information with the Board. What is the regulatory requirement
regarding notification of this change of address?
A. He must notify the Board within 10 days of the move to update his records.
B. He is required to report the address change within 30 days of the relocation.
C. Address changes are not required to be reported to the Board unless he changes funeral
homes.
D. He must wait until his annual renewal to update the address information.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Indiana statutes require licensees to notify the Board of a change of address within 30
days to ensure records are current. A 10-day window (A) is not the state standard, and failing to
