    A sole proprietorship has a distinct disadvantage it is?

    • A.

      Limited life

    • B.

      Ease of starting

    • C.

      Low cost

    • D.

      Freedom to manage

    Correct Answer
    A. Limited life
    Explanation
    A sole proprietorship has a limited life because it is dependent on the owner. If the owner dies or decides to sell or retire, the business ceases to exist. Unlike other business structures like partnerships or corporations, a sole proprietorship does not have a separate legal existence from its owner. Therefore, the business cannot continue to operate without the owner's involvement. This limited life can make it difficult for the business to attract investors or secure long-term contracts, as there is uncertainty about its continuity.

    During WW1, the development of "DOG TAGS" allowed for the identification of fallen soldiers and their subsequent return to their loved ones. Dog tags were small metal identification tags worn by soldiers that contained their personal information such as name, rank, and serial number. This simple yet effective method of identification significantly improved the identification process compared to the Civil War, where a large number of soldiers remained unidentified and could not be returned to their families. Dog tags made it easier to track and identify soldiers, ensuring that their remains were properly identified and returned to their loved ones.

This is because once children reach legal age, they are considered adults and have the legal capacity to handle their own affairs.

    Explanation
    Although a dated and prejudicial comment, it may still have some validity. Longer Drive way's indicate the "RICH" and More Diplomas on the wall indicate the highly educated, both have had historically high cremation rates. Doesn't mean you can't try to offer them a "traditional service" or may be better yet...offer a celebrant or have the after meal at the funeral home, or have it catered at there home. Think out of the box ! $800.00 to $1,200.00 Cremation only plans can open the door to "OTHER" less traditional service needs...you have to offer and make them of value. No one is going to ask you....they just think you do the burning....make them know you offer so much more!

    • E.

      Body Not in the Earth

    Correct Answer
    A. The Preference of the deceased
    Explanation
    Now we can't really fix the price but we can try, we shouldn't except the cultural trend of "SIMPLER", but if the deceased really didn't want to be cremated...it wasn't there "PREFERANCE" and they can't be consulted about it...then it's up to us to provide a solution...taking into account cost, the environment, and making it valuable in the eyes of the family. Otherwise...just close your doors, open a crematorium and forget the traditional service and any other services we can offer. The profession is only dead, if we say so...think out of the box !

    • C.

      Arterial embalming

    • D.

    Correct Answer
    B. Setting features
    Explanation
    I have heard of firms (Who shall remain nameless, you know who you are!) that routinely aspirate the cavities for "FAMILY VIEWING ONLY" case...With out a consent to Embalm this invasive procedure is not allowed in my mind, despite its benefit. If your doing a direct burial or direct cremation, but allow a "FAMILY ONLY VIEWING/ ID" where in those options does sticking a trocar in the body seem like a consented procedure? In my mind, your opening yourself up for a mutilation suit ! You can ask them and charge for it...but don't do any thing "EMBALING RELATED" with out that consent. Especially if your not billing for it !
