How often must courtesy cards be renewed?

The correct answer is that courtesy cards must be renewed every two years. This timeframe is established to ensure that the information and privileges associated with the cards remain up-to-date, reflecting any changes in regulations or the operational status of the issuing entity. Regular renewal helps maintain the standard of service and ensures that funeral directors and embalmers are consistently in compliance with any evolving industry standards and legal requirements.

The two-year renewal cycle allows practitioners to keep their credentials relevant and verify that they are following best practices within the profession, which is essential for providing quality service to families in their time of need. It serves as a reminder for professionals to stay engaged with ongoing education and regulation updates.
