Tennessee planning guide

Understand and organize funeral costs

You have every right to see prices in writing. Ask for itemized prices, and ask which items are required and which are your choice. A low headline price may not be the whole picture.

Start with these steps

Set a working family budget before comparing packages.
Request the funeral home General Price List and the prices of the individual services being considered.
Record transportation, professional services, facility, merchandise, permit, obituary, cemetery, crematory, and cash-advance costs separately.
Ask which charges are paid to the provider and which are paid to third parties.
Compare like-for-like totals, cancellation terms, deposits, and payment timing.

Check details before acting.

Processes vary by circumstances and locality. Confirm legal, medical, cemetery, and provider requirements with the responsible Tennessee authority or licensed professional.
