In 1911 Sevierville was a sleepy little farming community. The town was surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountains. In this setting K. Rawlings, Sr. saw a need for a funeral establishment and opened for business using the top floor of his furniture store to show caskets. There were two other funeral homes in the community at this time.
Even with these other established funeral homes, K. Rawlings, Sr. recognized the need for a business and offered personalized and compassionate service to the families that they served. The first location was on Main Street and was called K. Rawlings Furniture and Undertaking. The furniture store was established in 1902 with a hundred dollars of merchandise.

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.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).

My Family has used Rawlings for over 85 years I would not use anyone else . Gray Hicks is a class act really cares for the family's . I had to call on them twice last year and was 100% satisfied with the care and the cost . Sevierville is very fortunate to have Rawlings Funeral Home . I will never use anyone else. Since I wrote this I had to call on them again for my mother Never thought about anyone else . My mother was a person who want a full funeral and the very best and that is what Rawlings did for her at a very good price . I would never use any other funeral home .
