Can a courtesy card holder be employed by a funeral home in Ohio?

In Ohio, a courtesy card holder is an individual who holds a license to practice funeral directing in another state but is not permitted to practice in Ohio. The primary function of a courtesy card is to allow funeral directors from other states to operate temporarily in Ohio under certain conditions, such as for a funeral service that takes place when they are visiting.

However, a courtesy card holder does not have the same rights or privileges as a fully licensed funeral director in Ohio. This means that they cannot be employed by a funeral home in Ohio in any capacity that involves the practice of funeral directing or embalming. They may have certain limitations placed on their activities, preventing them from providing direct services or advice that would typically be performed by a licensed funeral director in Ohio.

Therefore, the correct answer is that a courtesy card holder cannot be employed by a funeral home in Ohio, emphasizing the importance of state licensure as a requirement for employment in the funeral industry within the state.
