Cemeteries - As introduced, requires a cemetery company to include in its record of each burial in the cemetery the precise geographical location using latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates; requires the cemetery company to transmit a copy of the record to the funeral establishment responsible for the arrangements of the person buried at the interment site within 15 days after the date of burial. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 46 and Title 62, Chapter 5.

HB 2171 requires cemetery companies in Tennessee to record the exact GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) for every burial in their records. It also mandates that cemetery companies send a copy of this burial record to the funeral home that arranged the burial within 15 days of the burial date. The bill directly affects cemetery companies and funeral homes by changing how burial location data is documented and shared. This amendment to Tennessee law (affecting Titles 4, 46, and 62) takes effect January 1, 2027.
