Our Heritage began in 1954, when Robert F. Ledford, Sr. bought out his partner, Frank Shull's half interest in The Shull Funeral Parlor. The Funeral Parlor was originally located on Gay Street then moved to Main Street in Erwin, Tennessee. Mr. Ledford was a native of Unicoi County. He grew up on a farm located in the Coffee Ridge community.
When planning a service, you have many options available to you and we will do all that we can to provide a beautiful and respectful ceremony. No matter your choice, we can offer you a space to join with family and friends in grief, comfort and love. And above all, we will do our utmost to honor your loved one.
We offer many price options in caskets and stock only quality merchandise manufactured by American vendors and more jobs at home. Ask another competing funeral home where their caskets originate and you will likely hear "Made in China." Why is this? Again, the unfortunate side effect of chain funeral home ownership is to "ramp up" their profits at the expense of our bereaved families.
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions? The arrangements you make will reflect your exact wishes and desires. Pre-arranging your own service will help to ease the burden of your loved ones. It will also alleviate any questions, problems or differences, which can occur among family members.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.

As a professional selling to many funeral homes and dealing with directors and owners of the homes, I have seen the different styles of how each handled their customers. Therefore I want to thank each one of the Ledford Funeral Home employees. They were professional in every aspect and made everything easy for my brother and I. I would give you 10 stars if they were available. Again thank you from the bottom of my heart.
