Which of the following is NOT a permissible way to hold funeral home records according to North Carolina regulations?

Physical copies
Digital copies
Shredded records
Combined electronic and physical formats

The correct answer is: Shredded records

In North Carolina, regulations regarding the storage and handling of funeral home records emphasize the importance of maintaining these records in a manner that ensures their integrity, legality, and confidentiality. Holding records in physical copies, digital copies, or a combination of both formats is permissible as each approach supports the proper documentation and retrieval of essential information. However, shredded records are not acceptable for maintaining funeral home records, as shredding effectively destroys the documents and makes them irretrievable. Regulations require that records be preserved in a manner that allows for their accessibility and use, especially for compliance and legal purposes. Therefore, the destruction of records through shredding does not meet the standards set forth by the regulations and is why this choice is the correct identification of an impermissible method for holding funeral home records.
