Tennessee rules that apply here

  • Embalming is not required by Tennessee law. You can choose refrigeration and a short viewing instead.
  • The death certificate is filed within five days of the death and before burial or cremation. The funeral director or doctor usually files it.
  • Funeral homes must give you their General Price List and tell you prices by phone (FTC Funeral Rule).
  • Estates are handled by the county’s probate court, or the chancery court in some counties. Ask the county clerk which applies.
