1. 1Which license status permits a person to practice in Virginia as a funeral service licensee?

   1. A. Expired but within the late-renewal year
   2. B. Inactive with continuing education completed
   3. C. Current and active
   4. D. Applicant-approved but not yet issued

   Answer: C

   Explanation: The statute provides that no funeral service licensee may practice "unless he holds a current, active license." A merely expired, inactive, or pending credential does not satisfy that condition.

6. 6A licensed Virginia funeral director first assumes custody of a decedent and completes the death certificate. Which filing method must the director use?

   1. A. File a paper certificate with the registrar for the district where the death occurred.
   2. B. File electronically with the State Registrar through the Electronic Death Registration System.
   3. C. File electronically with the district registrar using the provider's local records system.
   4. D. File a paper certificate directly with the State Registrar after final arrangements are made.

   Answer: B

   Explanation: Section 32.1-263(B) says the funeral professional "shall file the certificate of death with the State Registrar of Vital Records electronically using the Electronic Death Registration System." Paper filing with a district registrar may apply to a next of kin, but the licensed director who completes this certificate must use the state electronic system.

   Reference: Code of Virginia, Title 32.1, Chapter 7. Vital Records — § 32.1-263(B), electronic filing by funeral professional

7. 7The Virginia Department of Health Professions receives official documentation that a funeral service licensee has been convicted of a final felony. What action does § 54.1-2409 require upon receipt?

   1. A. The Director immediately suspends the license without a hearing.
   2. B. The Director defers suspension until the conviction becomes final.
   3. C. The Board hears a request for reinstatement at a regular meeting.
   4. D. The court clerk reports the conviction promptly to the Director.

   Answer: A

   Explanation: Section 54.1-2409(A) provides that after documentation of a felony conviction "the Director shall immediately suspend, without a hearing" the license. Deferral can concern a conviction that is not final; a reinstatement hearing follows an application after suspension; and a clerk's reporting duty is separate from the Director's required response. The conviction here is final and the Department has received documentation.

   Reference: Code of Virginia, Title 54.1, Chapter 24. General Provisions — § 54.1-2409(A), mandatory suspension after felony documentation

   4. D. Immediate supervision by an active, unrestricted funeral service licensee or embalmer in a licensed establishment

   Answer: D

   Explanation: The exception permits a student to assist only "under the immediate supervision of a funeral service licensee or embalmer with an active, unrestricted license" in a licensed establishment.

   Reference: Code of Virginia Code - Chapter 28. Funeral Services — § 54.1-2805(B)
