Mortuary Law, Negligence, Misconduct, & Other Claims

When a loved one passes on, it is important that those left behind are treated with the respect that they need in such difficult times. Unfortunately, problems often arise in funeral planning and execution and the services of a qualified attorney become necessary. Mortuary Law is an area of the law that very few attorneys specialize in. At The Chestnut Firm, our knowledge of mortuary law is extensive due to our long standing association with Chestnut Funeral Homes. In addition, Christopher Chestnut serves as the General Counsel to the Florida Morticians Association.

Florida mortuary law issues typically arise when the funeral, the preparation of the deceased's body, or some form of financial dispute comes from a client's dealings with the funeral home or crematory. These issues can be emotionally distressing to family members. Our mortuary law attorneys at our Gainesville law office understand these stresses and want to help relieve you of any undue pressure from these situations.

If you believe that you have a mortuary law claim or if your funeral home or mortuary is facing such a claim, please contact our offices and one of our attorneys will be waiting to discuss the details of your case with you.
