Our service to this community is more than a business... It's a tradition of comfort and trust.

sanderson1.jpg (86212 bytes)Sanderson Funeral Home was founded in Pleasant Shade in 1904 by the late T.D. (Tommy) Sanderson as part of the Sanderson General Merchandise Store.  Now, almost a century later, one of the oldest businesses in Smith County includes two modern facilities and three cemetaries allowing us to better serve the families of our area.

With funeral homes in Carthage and Kempville, Tennessee, we are able to offer traditional funeral services along with non-traditional services such as memorial services and cremation.  Our licensed funeral directors can assist you in planning and carrying out a tribute as unique and individual as the ones you love.  The staff at Sanderson Funeral Homes is committed to continuing the tradition of respect, compassion, and professionalism that we have provided to the families we have served over the years.

Our cemeteries in Carthage, Defeated Creek and Dixon Springs are all state-licensed perpetual-care cemeteries.  This means that money has been set aside in order to maintain the final resting place of our loved ones even after this generation is gone.  The grounds crew works year-round to keep our cemeteries well groomed and in keeping with the way you would want your own home maintained.

Sanderson Funeral Homes also offers many other services such as after-care, monument sales, and funeral pre-arrangements.  Our pre-arrangement counselors can help you to pre-plan in order to lift part of the financial and emotional burden off of family members and loved ones.  We offer free brochures without pressure or obligation to help explain some of the many advantages of pre-planning.

At Sanderson Funeral Homes, we take pride in being a part of our community and want the people in the Smith County area to feel free to call on us at any time we can be of help.  Our service to this community is more than a business.  It's a tradition of comfort and trust.
