Carter-Trent Funeral Home
Compassionate Care Since 1920
From our founding in 1920, Carter-Trent Funeral Home has made exceptional service and compassionate care our trademark. Our Church Hill facility combines comfort and convenience as a full-service funeral home for burial, cremation, memorials, veteran's funerals, and memorial keepsakes.
At Carter-Trent, we understand that saying farewell to a loved one is a profoundly personal and emotional experience. That's why we have a team of dedicated staff ready to guide you through every stage of the process - before, during, and after the service. Whether you wish to hold a service in our beautiful chapel or prefer a location special to you and your family, our experienced funeral directors and arrangers are adept at managing every detail to ensure a meaningful and dignified farewell.
Carter-Trent works with local cemeteries to arrange a seamless transition of care, whether you choose traditional burial or permanent memorialization after cremation. Our legacy is not just in our services but in the compassionate care and personalized attention we offer to each family that walks through our doors. We have two convenient Tennessee locations in Church Hill and Kingsport.
