What are advisors to the Secretary of State expected to provide guidance on?

Advisors to the Secretary of State are expected to provide guidance on adopting rules for professional standards because their role involves helping to establish and maintain the ethical and professional norms that govern the funeral industry. This includes creating regulations that ensure the delivery of respectful, dignified, and compliant funeral services. These advisors typically consist of individuals knowledgeable about the funeral profession and its challenges, thus enabling them to contribute effectively to the regulatory framework that protects both the public and funeral service providers.

In contrast, while funeral service management courses, competing funeral home practices, and seasonal funeral service promotions may pertain to various aspects of the funeral industry, they are not the primary focus of advisory guidance as it relates to regulatory and standards development. The emphasis is on maintaining and improving professional standards through formal regulations rather than curriculum development or marketing strategies.
