We're an alternative to high cost overpriced funeral homes, We offer lower priced funeral & cremation services. With the current economic enviroment, we are the economical choice in funeral service. Please compare our prices and see the difference.

Our commitment is to provide affordable, dignified and professional service to families that we're privileged to serve. In today's world with the increasing cost of everything, the death of a loved one doesn't have to be expensive. We know we can't change the world, we just want to make a difference in the lifes of families that allow us to serve them.

WHY SO MANY NASHVILLE FAMILIES NEEDLESSLY SPEND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HONOR THE LIFE OF A LOVED ONE. DID YOU KNOW THAT A MAJORITY OF NASHVILLE FUNERAL HOMES ARE OWNED BY OUT OF STATE CORPORATE CONGLOMERATES AND FUNERAL HOME CHAINS, THEIR SECRET IS KEEPING THE ORIGINAL FOUNDERS NAME ON THE FUNERAL HOMES AND STRUCTURING THE PRICING 50 TO 60% MORE TO PAY CEO'S, CORPORATE MANAGEMENT, STOCKHOLDERS AND OVERHEAD COST OF FACILITIES. WE STRUCTURE PRICING TO OFFER "OUR" COMMUNITY AFFORDABLE CHOICES. THE BEST DECISION A FAMILY CAN MAKE WHEN CONSIDERING A FUNERAL PROVIDER IS KNOWING WHO HOLDS OWNERSHIP AND COMPARING COST.

We are a state licensed funeral establishment without the funeral home facilities, which means we eliminate expensive overhead costs that are involved when using a traditional funeral home. We offer the same service in a dignified, personal and professional manner. We serve all churches, religious denominations, cultural beliefs and cemeteries.

We realize the importance of tradition and strive to help families create meaningful service options as unique as their loved one without having to use expensive funeral home facilities. We are here to serve your family in time of need regardless of any situation.

Our concept of offering services in other locations such as your church or residence, graveside service, in a cemetery or mausoleum chapel, your fraternal lodge, a hospital, nursing home or hospice chapel, in a park or another location that you choose not only eliminates expensive costs, but adds a more personal touch that your family can appreciate.

Many times funeral homes are serving more than one family consecutively, causing a sense that they're losing touch with your personal needs while trying to fulfill the needs of others. Celebrating a loved ones life in a facility that you choose ensures your family the privacy & comfort of being in familiar surroundings during this most difficult time.
