Harpeth Hills Memory Gardens, Funeral Home & Cremation Center is a combined cemetery, funeral home, and cremation provider based in Nashville, Tennessee. The organization brings burial grounds, funeral services, and cremation arrangements together on a single property, positioning itself as a full-service destination for families planning a funeral or memorial. The company describes its grounds as “a haven of compassion and comfort” and states that its mission is to “serve our community with kindness, compassion, fair prices and quality service.”
Services
The provider offers a range of arrangements covering both immediate need and advance planning. Services listed on the website include:
- Traditional funeral services
- Cremation services
- Cemetery burial options, including plots and mausoleum placement
- Pre-arrangements and advance funeral planning
- Personalized life celebrations
- Veterans services
- Reception facilities at The Pavilion at Harpeth Hills
- Grief support services
- Bronze memorials and tribute options
The cemetery grounds feature several distinct structures and garden sections, among them the Prayer Mausoleum, the Last Supper Mausoleum, a Bell Tower, multiple garden sections, and private walled estates. These options give families a choice between in-ground burial plots and above-ground mausoleum placement on the same property. The Pavilion at Harpeth Hills opened in 2011 and is described as a space that “opens to the public for receptions and life celebrations,” providing an on-site venue for gatherings following a service. A Veteran’s Memorial was developed at the entrance of the cemetery in 2014, and veterans services are offered for military families.
Because the location combines a cemetery, a funeral home, and a cremation center, families can coordinate burial or cremation, the funeral or memorial ceremony, and a reception through a single provider rather than working with separate businesses for each step.
About
Harpeth Hills Memory Gardens was established in 1965 by co-owners and founders Ed Phillips, Dave Boyd, and Wayne Gassner. According to the company’s history, “On June 23, 1965, country singer Ira Louvin becomes Harpeth Hills’ very first interment.” The grounds have grown through a series of expansions, with major development noted in the periods of 1970 to 1975, as well as in 2006, 2011, and 2014.
The organization also operates a grief support program described as “365 days of grief messages designed to offer hope and healing,” reflecting a continued relationship with families after services conclude.
