🇺🇸 Honoring Our Nation’s Heroes This Veterans Day:
Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country with courage and sacrifice.

At Dotson Funeral Home & Cremation, we are proud to ‘go the extra mile’ for our Veterans to ensure they receive the honors and benefits they have earned. We coordinate these services at no additional cost to families.

It is our privilege to serve this community as your family owned and operated funeral home, founded by the late Clarence Dotson, a proud Veteran of the U.S. Army.

If you have questions or would like to schedule a pre-arrangement appointment, please contact us anytime. We are available 24/7 for deaths and emergencies.

We felt very priviliged to be able to sponsor the monthly breakfast for the brave veterans of VFW of Louisville TN Post 5154 and share all the ways that Dotson goes the extra mile to honor and celebrate Veteran’s lives.

We really enjoyed our day today at the Daily Times Grand Times Senior Expo. It was such a blessing to get to spend time with some incredible Seniors and share information with them.

Did you know- that we can direct funerals and graveside ceremonies anywhere in the State of TN?

So if you wish to be buried in your family plot many miles from Blount County, we can coordinate that- just like we were honored to do for the Arendt Family today in Piney Flats, TN.

Our visitor for the day in the back field. You won’t find this at any other funeral home. We feel very fortunate to live and work in this magical community and offer our peaceful setting in Wildwood to the families we serve as a place of reflection and healing.

We were honored to be a sponsor of today’s Luncheon & Blessing of the Bikers at Wildwood Baptist Church - Maryville. As the only funeral home located right here in the Wildwood community, it means so much to us to support our neighbors and take part in events that bring people together in faith and fellowship.

This beautiful service, led by Pastor Charlie, was a time of worship, reflection, and connection—and it also supported a wonderful cause: the East Tennessee Freedom Schools’ Ride To Read initiative, helping to promote literacy among local youth.

We’re proud to be part of a community with so much heart.

Happy Heavenly Father’s Day, Mr. Dotson.

You are still our guiding force every day. We strive to live up to your ideals. You are so missed. 💔

Talking about end-of-life wishes isn’t easy—but it’s an important conversation we should all have, at any age.

Cremation is becoming more common, but it brings important decisions. Where will your cremated remains be placed or buried? Options include cemetery burial (in a plot, urn garden, or columbarium), scattering in a meaningful location, or keeping the urn at home. If you choose the latter, think about who will care for your urn and what happens after they pass—choosing a permanent resting place now can prevent uncertainty later.

We’re family-owned and offer compassionate, personalized care for every budget. We’re also the only local provider of Cremation Done Properly, a 10-Step Cremation Process that ensures your loved one is always treated with dignity, respect, and accuracy. We never leave their side.

Let us help you start the conversation. Call anytime with questions or concerns—and consider scheduling an appointment to pre-arrange.

Pre-arranging locks in today’s prices and eases the burden on your family. We can also help you transfer existing arrangements.

We’re proud to remain a family owned and operated funeral home for over 45 years, and we’re truly thankful for the trust and support our community has shown us over the years.

🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, We Honor Their Sacrifice 🇺🇸

Today, as we pause to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country, we also reaffirm our commitment to helping families honor their loved ones with the honor, reverence, and respect their service so rightfully deserves.

From coordinating military honors like Taps and flag presentation to assisting with VA benefits, we make sure every detail is handled with expert care. Military honors are free for eligible veterans—active duty, honorably discharged, and qualifying reservists. A DD-214 or discharge papers confirm eligibility.

We also help with pre-arranged services for veterans, including reserving cemetery space and ensuring wishes for military tributes are fulfilled.

It is our solemn honor to serve those who served.
