Which funeral practice is illegal under Tennessee law?

Engaging in funeral directing without a valid license is illegal under Tennessee law because it directly relates to the state's regulations on the professional practice of funeral directing. The law mandates that individuals must obtain proper licensure to ensure they have met specific educational and ethical standards to serve the public effectively. This regulation helps protect families from unqualified individuals and ensures that funeral services adhere to legal and professional standards.

Holding a funeral service without a permit can also be considered illegal, but in many cases, permits may only be required under certain conditions or for specific locations, making them less universally applicable. Offering discounts on funeral services generally does not violate any laws as long as they are executed ethically and transparently. Conducting funeral services on weekends is typically permissible and can vary by individual business practices, making it inappropriate as a violation of the law.
