Can a courtesy card holder advertise their services in Ohio?

In Ohio, a courtesy card holder is not permitted to advertise their funeral services. This regulation is in place to ensure that only licensed funeral directors and embalmers who meet the necessary state requirements can promote their services to the public. The rationale behind this restriction is to maintain a standard of professional practice and protect consumers who may otherwise be misled by unlicensed individuals or entities.

While there are avenues through which licensed professionals are allowed to advertise, courtesy card holders do not possess the same legal standing and responsibilities as fully licensed funeral directors. Therefore, it is essential to adhere to these regulations to uphold the integrity of the profession and ensure compliance with state laws governing funeral services.
