Question: 1 / 50

Who is authorized to perform removals of human remains in New Jersey?

Only licensed funeral directors

Unlicensed personnel only

Licensed directors, interns/apprentices, and unlicensed personnel

In New Jersey, the authority to perform removals of human remains is designated to licensed funeral directors, as well as interns and apprentices under the supervision of licensed funeral directors. This is a regulated activity to ensure that it is conducted with dignity and respect for the deceased. Additionally, some specific funeral practices may allow unlicensed personnel to assist in removal operations, provided they are working under the directive of licensed professionals. This combination of licensed and supervised unlicensed personnel reflects the state's emphasis on professional standards and proper training to handle such sensitive operations. Options stating only licensed funeral directors or only unlicensed personnel do not account for the roles of interns, apprentices, and the collaborative aspect of the removal process, which involves licensed professionals overseeing and guiding their training. Therefore, the correct response highlights the inclusivity of licensed funeral directors, interns/apprentices, and appropriately regulated unlicensed personnel in the removal of human remains.
