What may happen if a certificate holder is found to be in violation of death care statutes?

If a certificate holder is found to be in violation of death care statutes, they may face sanctions imposed by the board. This outcome reflects the regulatory framework established by the state to ensure compliance with laws governing funeral practices and the proper conduct of funeral service professionals. Sanctions can vary in severity, depending on the nature and seriousness of the violation, and can include reprimands, fines, probation, suspension, or even revocation of a license.

This approach emphasizes accountability within the profession, allowing for corrective measures while still providing an opportunity for professionals to rectify their mistakes. It is also indicative of the board's role in maintaining public trust in the funeral service industry, ensuring that practitioners adhere to established standards of ethical and professional behavior.
