Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

Re: cremation laws

This is not an area that is within my expertise. However, you can find out information simply by calling a funeral home director wherever you live. In terms of scattering ashes, I know people who have scattered ashes in the mountains and practically answer. There is really no way the state can regulate or tell people where they cannot scatter ashes. However, you should use common sense not to create a nuisance, i.e., do not scatter the ashes so that they blow in someone's face or get in the drinking water. It would be fine to scatter them in a river or stream or beautiful mountain setting.
