Four generations in the funeral business

Our tradition of providing honest and caring professional service has been passed down through four generations of the Berry family—and it is the foundation from which our solid reputation was built.

A Knoxville landmark

Front exterior at Berry Funeral HomeSituated at 3704 Chapman Highway, Berry Funeral Home is a Knoxville landmark. The funeral home holds the prestigious Knoxville Beautification Orchid Award for 2009. Its beautiful mountain stone building, flower gardens and water feature make the perfect setting for the service of your choosing.

Showcasing seven staterooms and a large chapel highlighted by a wonderful cathedral ceiling, our stunning arts and crafts facility provides a lovely setting to honor those you love. Our chapel also has state-of-the-art music and media capabilities for your family pictures and video slideshows.

Let's celebrate life

Chapel at Berry Funeral HomeAt Berry Funeral Home, our team creates one-of-a-kind tributes that celebrate a person's passions and personality. We'll listen to you and your family to design a service that takes all of the things your loved one enjoyed, such as a favorite song, lifelong hobby or even a signature style, and weave them together to create an unforgettable memorial.

We can find inspiration almost anywhere. Imagine a motorcycle procession with his cherished chopper leading the way. Envision the chapel transformed into an art gallery with her paintings on the walls. Prefer a more traditional funeral service? We are happy to do that as well. We are committed to meeting your needs and wishes.

"The Berry Funeral Home team was very empathetic and supportive of me throughout the process beginning with the receiving my husband into care, preparing him for burial and the graveside service. The words spoken by Rocky Glenn who officiated at the graveside service provided a special moment for me as they were very kind and touching. He acknowledged the personal loss of my husband as well as the loss his friends and relatives were feeling. The inclusion of some lighthearted moments that my husband and I shared during his illness definitely provided some smiles and laughter making the service uplifting and for this I will be forever gratefull."

"I want to thank you Berry's for providing the necessary services to prepare my Mother and transport her to Ky where all of her funeral and burial arrangements were made years ago. Thank you for making it possible for me to prearrange and prepay the services I would need for my Mother upon her passing. It sure gave me assurance and peace of mind, a true blessing. All of you at Berry's are wonderful. You were so good to my Mom and I. From my heart I thank very much."
