- A.
Performing an embalming on a contracted direct cremation for school
- B.
Accepting golf trips for a Vault contract
- C.
Allowing personal friends to view an embalming
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
All of the options listed in the question are examples of unethical behavior in regards to the body of the deceased. Performing an embalming on a contracted direct cremation for school goes against the wishes and agreements made with the deceased and their family. Accepting golf trips for a Vault contract implies a conflict of interest and unethical behavior in accepting personal benefits in exchange for business. Allowing personal friends to view an embalming violates the privacy and dignity of the deceased and their family. Therefore, all of the options mentioned are not ethical behaviors in regards to the body of the deceased.Rate this question:

- A.
The Statute of Limitations
- B.
Stare Decisis
- C.

The Local newspaper was sent the following Obit: "Mr. James Mason died at home surrounded by family. Services will be Saturday at Lawn Field Cemetery, 7 am.

This is because the funeral home received a call from Autopsy Services Inc. to recover sperm for cryopreservation without the proper consent from Mr. Franks or his current spouse. By proceeding with the procedure based on the consent documents signed by Mr. Franks and his divorced wife, the funeral home failed to protect the rights and interests of Mr. Franks and his current spouse, which can be considered a breach of their duty of care.Rate this question:

A "Hate Group" has issued a lawsuit against Harry's Funeral Home for obstructing there "Protest" of a resent "Terrorist's" Funeral.

Violation of Administrative law
- C.
Violation of state RSA

Although lower courts have ruled in such cases, the US Supreme Court has ruled non-violent protests, despite there "Violent, rude or hate-filled" messages, have the right to protest on Public Property...even if they "offend and dishonor" the funeral procession. High Profile cases such as this are rare, but the appropriate "Security measures" albeit needed, should have legal advice and even police involvement to avoid potential legal ramifications in the long term. As to the question at hand..."Stare's Decisis" is the reason because previous court precedent has been documented and due to this, the court followed the "previous" orders.Rate this question:

DEFINITION of 'Disaffirmance': The right to renounce a contract and thereby void any legal obligations resulting from the contract. To void the contract, the person must indicate he or she will not be bound by the contract. This can be explicitly expressed by the person in a declaration or implied when the person performs an act that indicates he will not abide by the terms of the contract. Disaffirmance occurs when an avoidable contractual obligation is renounced. Minors or, in some cases, persons who can prove they lacked the capacity to enter a legally binding contract - intoxication, mental incompetence, etc. - can disaffirm a contract and therefore avoid all legal obligations set forth in the contract.Rate this question:
