Someone wants to become a funeral director and open a funeral home.

Before they can get their license, they have to take a test. The test will ask questions like how to know if someone is really dead, what to do with a body if the person died from a disease like COVID-19, and what the local health rules say about preparing bodies for burial. If they don’t pass the test, they can’t get their license.
