Which of the following acts is NOT a basis for disciplinary action against a funeral director's license?

Failure to sign birth certificates is not considered a basis for disciplinary action against a funeral director's license because signing birth certificates typically falls outside the scope of a funeral director's responsibilities. Funeral directors primarily handle arrangements related to deceased individuals, including embalming, cremation, and burial services, rather than the legal processes related to the registration of vital records such as birth certificates.

On the other hand, using previously used caskets, failing to complete required training, and misleading advertising can lead to disciplinary actions because they directly relate to the standards and ethics of funeral service practice. Using previously used caskets without proper disclosure may violate consumer rights and health regulations. Failure to complete required training undermines the competency expected of a funeral director, while misleading advertising can distort the public’s perception of the services offered, both of which breach professional conduct standards in the funeral industry.
