What is the Tribunal's role regarding cemetery licenses?

• A. It awards licenses to operators
• B. It determines authority over remains and can hear appeals regarding licenses
• C. It handles staff complaints
• D. It sets cemetery pricing

Answer: (B)

The key function of the Tribunal here is to act as the impartial decision-maker for cemetery-related disputes and licensing reviews. It determines who has authority over remains when there’s a dispute, and it hears appeals of licensing decisions. This means if there’s a conflict about who may control or inter remains, or if someone wants to challenge a cemetery license decision, the Tribunal provides a formal process to resolve it.

It doesn’t award licenses itself—the licensing decision is handled by the regulatory body or ministry responsible for cemetery licenses. It also doesn’t handle staff complaints or set cemetery pricing; those duties lie with the operator’s processes or with the regulatory framework, not with the Tribunal.
