Which statement about the action is true?

• A. The licensee cannot handle money for two months, while other duties continue
• B. The license is revoked for two months
• C. The licensee is fined but can still handle money
• D. The license is suspended with no other duties allowed

Answer: (A)

A common disciplinary tool is to apply targeted restrictions on a licensee’s activities rather than removing the license entirely. The statement describes a sanction that blocks the licensee from handling money for two months while allowing them to continue performing other duties. This is a proportionate remedy that protects clients by preventing potential mismanagement of funds, yet it lets the licensee continue working in other areas of funeral service. The two-month duration is a temporary measure, giving time to address the issue and demonstrate compliance (often with follow-up conditions like audits or training). This approach is more appropriate than revocation for two months, which would end the license entirely; a fine alone does not address the risk of handling client funds; and a suspension with no other duties would stop all practice, which conflicts with the idea of continuing other duties.
