History tells us that the term "undertaker" has been handed down from those who "undertook" to care for friends and neighbors at the time of death. Thus began the practice of applying human relationship in undertaking. This, in turn, has followed step by step the establishment of the professional funeral service of today.
Staff members of Love-Cantrell Funeral Home are caring and experienced professionals who understand that each family is unique and has personal requests and traditions. These requests and traditions are of great importance to our staff of licensed funeral directors. Deloy was born in 1947, and raised in the Jefferson community of Smithville by his parents, the late Virgil "Bud" and Martella Kirby.
Most of us plan ahead in life. We plan for our wedding, our children's education, family vacations, and other significant expected life events. We also plan for the unexpected events of life by purchasing home, auto and medical insurance. Understanding the benefits of pre-planning has prompted many to take the step to plan their own arrangements.
Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice.
Someone you love has died. You are now faced with the difficult, but important, need to mourn. Mourning is the open expression of your thoughts and feelings regarding the death and the person who died. It is an essential part of healing. The following articles provide many practical suggestions to help you move toward healing in your unique grief journey.

Love-Cantrell Funeral Home has always taken care of my family during our time of loss. I was just a little girl when I lost my daddy but I remember Deloy Kirby being so sweet to me. The Kirby's have sincere love & compassion for you during this sad time.

I want to commend Love-Cantrell Funeral Home on the wonderful job they and the Headstone Company (from Cookeville, TN) who erected a stone for our great grandfather, Dempsey. It turned out to be exactly how we wanted it to read and now, anyone who wants to find his grave can do so and have much information about him and his family available. I… thank Renee Hennessee so very much for working with me until this project was completed. You have made all the family happy we started this project. Love-Cantrell is a beautiful place; and the staff is wonderful to work with. Thanks again Love-Cantrell
