Local to Cookeville
Families in Cookeville and across Putnam County can make every arrangement with us online or by phone, without driving anywhere. Here is how the process works locally, from the first call to choosing a final resting place.
Whether your loved one passes at Cookeville Regional Medical Center, in a nursing home, or at home, call us and we will take it from there. If they were under hospice care at home, call the hospice nurse first. If a death at home is unexpected, call 911 first.
Tennessee requires the county medical examiner to approve every cremation. For a death in Putnam County, we file the death certificate, request the medical examiner’s approval and the cremation permit, and order the certified death certificates you will need.
Eligible veterans can be laid to rest at the Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery in Nashville or Nashville National Cemetery in Madison. Both accept cremated remains. Tell us about their service when you make arrangements.
Many families choose a family plot in a local cemetery, a columbarium niche, or a meaningful place to scatter. In Tennessee you may scatter on your own land, or on someone else’s land with their permission. For parks, rivers, lakes and other public places, check with the agency that manages the site first.

Kind words from families
My aunt passed away very unexpectedly. Our family was devastated and having a hard time making arrangements. After consulting several local funeral homes that were not very sympathetic and seemed quite expensive, I found Cremation and Funeral Services of Tennessee online. From the moment we spoke, I knew we made the right choice. He was so kind and patient, answering a million questions, handling arrangements and making things as easy for my cousin as possible when it came to paperwork. I was not able to attend the funeral, but my family still talks about how wonderfully they were treated. I would tell anyone, you cannot go wrong with them.

It’s the small things that really help people. I want to let you know I appreciate you and your staff so much.
Samantha
Chris Mayberry, Brian Robinson and Gary were wonderful through our entire experience. My father-in-law’s passing was completely unexpected. Once we spoke with CFSTN we felt like we were in very good hands, and they helped get everything together so quickly for us that our stress level dropped. They answered all of our questions, even after hours. You don’t have to worry about any hidden costs; they were upfront and honest. Hopefully we won’t need their services again any time soon, but when we do, there’s no question who we will be calling.
