Offering personalized care, with funeral and cremation services for Knoxville and surrounding areas

As difficult as it may be to face, we must accept death as an inevitable part of life. Funerals remain an important ritual and an opportunity to say goodbye to the deceased. When choosing a funeral home, you can compare costs, facilities, and staff; however, the most important factor to consider is the service.

As a family of funeral directors, we have chosen not a job, but a way of life that centers on serving you during your time of loss. We offer around-the-clock availability, compassion for our friends and neighbors, and personalized professional service.

We treat your family as if they were members of our own.

What families are saying

The whole staff at Mynatt’s went out of their way to assist me and my family in the loss of my brother. Tim was especially helpful to me. He was kind and considerate to make sure all of my needs were met. He saw how much I was hurting and I felt like he was treating me as if I were his mom. Thank you for everything.

— Ella, February 9, 2023

Prices were significantly better on a basic cremation than the other nearby competitors. Katie was very pleasant to work with, very professional, efficient and I found her practical but with a good sense of humor. My wife and I agreed we made a good choice.

— Blake C.

Our experience was the best. Our funeral director was kind and attentive to all our needs and requests. I was especially impressed with the results of my mother's appearance. I could not imagine a better job or service experience. Thank you to all at Mynatt's Funeral Home who make a difficult situation very peaceful.
