How much does an immediate burial cost in Tennessee?
$5,010. That is the median of the figures posted by the 31 funeral homes in Tennessee whose price lists we have read for an immediate burial. The least expensive of them is $2,485 and the most expensive is $6,235.
The price lists behind these figures are dated Nov 1, 2023 to Aug 4, 2026. We last checked them between Aug 17, 2026 and Sep 19, 2026.
Every figure is that home's own posted price with its county's permit fee and one certified copy of the death certificate added, wherever both are on file, rounded once. Open a home to change the county or the number of copies.
What this includes
A state's median is the middle of the figures the homes in it show, so it carries the same county fees and the same one certified copy those figures carry.

We hold posted prices in 10 of Tennessee's 95 counties. We are still collecting in the other 85, and a county is missing from this list because we have not read a price list there yet, not because its funeral homes charge nothing.

Least expensive first. Every figure links to the funeral home's own page, where the price list it was read from is linked in full.
Other questions about Tennessee
No funeral home charges the median. It's where to start, not what you'll pay. The home you call will quote its own price, and the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule requires it to give you a price list you can keep when you sit down with it.
