What must happen if a licensed owner operates a funeral establishment using their surname?

It is considered a trade name.
It is not considered a trade name.
It must be registered as a secondary business.
It requires a special license to operate.

The correct answer is: It is not considered a trade name.

When a licensed owner operates a funeral establishment using their surname, it is not considered a trade name. This is because a trade name typically refers to a name that is different from the legal name of the individual or business entity. In this case, using one’s surname represents the personal identity of the licensed owner and is inherently connected to their professional qualifications and reputation in the field of mortuary science. As a result, no additional registration or licensing specifically as a trade name is necessary, since the owner is directly identifiable with the establishment by their licensed surname. This practice allows the services provided to be associated with the owner's credentials and personal commitment to the profession.
