True or False: A person with a courtesy license is allowed to embalm.

True
False
Only under supervision
Only in emergencies

The correct answer is: False

A person with a courtesy license is not permitted to perform embalming. A courtesy license typically refers to a temporary or limited credential that allows an individual to practice in a jurisdiction where they are not permanently licensed. This is often issued to accommodate licensed professionals from other areas who may need to conduct funeral services or related tasks on a short-term basis. However, embalming is a regulated practice that generally requires full licensure within the jurisdiction due to its complexity and the health and safety implications involved. Therefore, without the appropriate full license, a courtesy licensee is not authorized to carry out embalming procedures.
