Heritage Family is a succession planning company offering you a solution during your time of transitioning your firm to the next owner.

Our story began in 1943 with the establishment of Tetrick Funeral Home in Elizabethton, TN. The Tetrick family continued to grow their business by adding family firms sharing the same values of personal service to their communities. Our company name was changed in 1991 to Heritage Family Funeral Services to promote our continued growth as we expanded outside our Northeast Tennessee presence to several other states. In 2020, we adopted the name Heritage Family Partners, now known as Heritage Family, to help further facilitate our growth.

PARTNERSHIP

Since our humble beginnings in 1943, our commitment to professional, compassionate service has allowed us to expand into a premier service network of funeral homes, cemeteries, crematories and supporting businesses. We understand the importance of passing on the legacy you have created. Rest assured, Heritage Family will work with you to preserve the passion and reputation of service you have demonstrated to your families, your staff, and your community.

RELATIONSHIPS

Our company is dedicated to providing quality funeral and cemetery service, excellent associate benefits and advancement opportunities, and continued growth through acquisition of high-quality funeral homes and cemeteries that mirror our methods of service. With each successful acquisition, we remain committed to the relationships built on the heritage of your family, staff and local support network.

OPPORTUNITY

Everyone is looking for an improved quality of life. We feel we can offer opportunities for everyone to realize an even better one. For the previous owner, we offer an opportunity to reduce anxiety knowing the firm is in a stable and improved financial condition and the specialty areas of running the business no longer need to be stressful burden. For staff, we strive to improve schedules, working conditions and offer opportunities in our growing company. And, for our families, we offer the opportunity to offer a higher level of service based on the lifetime of experiences shared between staff, improved technologies and better vendor agreements for more cost-effective products and services to choose from.

SUPPORT

Today, support is realized more than ever in working toward successful succession and operating solutions. We provide a platform of operational support in the form of accounting, human resources, IT and compliance allowing you and your staff to focus on being funeral directors for your families.

Our former owners say it best.
