The 2016 Legislative Update for the Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers, published on July 18, 2016, contained an error in the synopsis of Public Chapter 915. That synopsis stated that the act provided that the maximum fee that could be charged by the Tennessee Department of Veterans Services for the interment of an eligible veteran’s spouse was set by the act at $300. The correct amount that may be charged under Public Chapter 0915 by the Tennessee Department of Veterans Services for the interment of an eligible veteran’s spouse is $610. The synopsis should have read:
Public Chapter 915 amends what fees may be charged for the interment of a veteran by the Tennessee Department of Veterans Services. Specifically, the law prohibits any fee to be charged for the interment of an eligible veteran in a state veteran’s cemetery and limits the fee to $610 for the interment of an eligible veteran’s spouse. This Act took effect on April 27, 2016. A copy of the new law is available for review on the website of the Tennessee Secretary of State here: http://share.tn.gov/sos/acts/109/pub/pc0915.pdf.
