An act to require all in-ground burials to be vertical burials
Garrett Wilson and Parker Evans
This bill was proposed to save space in the shrinking land set aside for burials in TN. It would require everyone to be buried vertically in the ground unless they previously bought a plot or refuse due to religious obligations. It is currently around $7000 for a horizontal burial and $2000 for a vertical one. Opponents questioned the bill, because it has never been implemented in the United States before and allows for an easy opt-out process. However, the Senate ultimately concluded the space and monetary benefits outweighed the cons.
