No disposition directions or pre-need funeral contract shall be subject to cancellation or substantial revision unless the cancellation or substantial revision has been ordered by a person authorized to act as the lawful representative in § 62-5-703, or the pre-need funeral contract as the person authorized to cancel or revise the terms of the disposition directions or the pre-need funeral contract, or unless any resources set aside or available to fund the disposition directions or the pre-need funeral contract are insufficient to carry out the funeral and disposition arrangements set forth in the disposition directions or pre-need funeral contract.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 62 - Professions, Businesses and Trades|Chapter 5 - Funeral Directors and Embalmers|Part 7 - Disposition of Human Remains|§ 62-5-705. Petition to Court With Probate Jurisdiction to Make Determination in Case of Dispute Concerning Disposition — Considerations in Determination

 If two (2) or more persons hold the right of disposition pursuant to § 62-5-703, and they cannot, by majority vote, make a decision regarding the disposition of the decedent’s remains, any of such persons or a funeral establishment with custody of the remains may file a petition asking the court with probate jurisdiction to make a determination in the matter. If a funeral establishment brings an action under this section, or relies upon this section to defend itself in a related lawsuit, the court may award legal fees and court costs associated with a petition under this section to the cost of final disposition. The court with probate jurisdiction for the county where the decedent resided may award the right of disposition to the person determined by the court to be the most fit and appropriate to carry out the right of disposition, and may make decisions regarding the decedent’s remains if those sharing the right of disposition cannot agree. The court may consider the following in making such determination:   The reasonableness and practicality of the proposed funeral arrangements and disposition;   The degree of the personal relationship between the decedent and each of the persons claiming the right of disposition;   The desires of the person who is ready, able and willing to pay the cost of the funeral arrangements and disposition;   The convenience and needs of other families and friends wishing to pay respects;   The desires of the decedent; and   The degree to which the funeral arrangements would allow maximum participation by all wishing to pay respect.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 62 - Professions, Businesses and Trades|Chapter 5 - Funeral Directors and Embalmers|Part 7 - Disposition of Human Remains|§ 62-5-706. No Liability of Funeral Establishment When Parties in Dispute Until Court Order

  In the event two (2) or more persons hold the right of disposition pursuant to § 62-5-703, and they cannot, by majority vote, make a decision regarding the disposition of the decedent's remains, no funeral establishment is liable for refusing to accept, inter or otherwise dispose of the remains of the decedent or complete the arrangements for the final disposition of the remains until the funeral establishment receives a court order or other written agreement signed by the parties to the dispute that determines the final disposition of the remains. If the funeral establishment retains the remains for final disposition while the parties are in disagreement, the funeral establishment may shelter, refrigerate or embalm the body, or all, in order to preserve the body while awaiting the final decision of the probate court. However, the funeral establishment may not charge for embalming unless expressly agreed to by the parties. Neither this section, nor § 62-5-705, shall be construed to require or to impose a duty upon a funeral establishment to bring an action under this section or § 62-5-705. No funeral establishment or its employees shall be held criminally or civilly liable for choosing not to bring an action under this section or § 62-5-705.    Except to the degree it may be considered by the court under § 62-5-705(3), the fact that a person has paid or agreed to pay for all or part of the funeral arrangements and final disposition does not give that person a greater right to the right of disposition than the person would otherwise have.   The personal representative of the estate of the decedent does not, by virtue of being the personal representative, have a greater claim to the right of disposition than the person would otherwise have.

A funeral establishment shall have the right to rely on such funeral service contract or authorization and shall have the authority to carry out the instructions of the person whom the funeral establishment reasonably believes holds the right of disposition. No funeral establishment is responsible for contacting or independently investigating the existence of any next-of-kin or relative of the decedent.

The receiving funeral establishment shall be responsible for the cost of any merchandise or services provided by the initial funeral establishment, which shall be payable to the initial funeral establishment at the time of release. However, the cost of the merchandise or services provided shall not exceed the prices for the merchandise or services listed on the general price list of the initial funeral establishment.
