Family Search Record Search | Family Search Record Search {{RecordSearch|1681020|Tennessee Deaths 1874-1955}} includes extracted information from death certificates. As a state, Tennessee began registration of deaths from 1908-1912 and after 1914. During 1913, the state legislature failed to pass a statute requiring the gathering of death information. | ||
Deaths were reported by the local undertaker. If a family buried their dead without the use of an undertaker, usually the death was not recorded at the state level. Some deaths were unreported as late as 1936. | |||
If your ancestor lived in Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis or Nashville, earlier death records are available. For these cities, check both the city and county for records.<br> | If your ancestor lived in Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis or Nashville, earlier death records are available.
