Our Story
Learn our story, from the beginning and into the future.
For nearly two decades, Randy Nash has dedicated his life to serving the families of Sumner County and Middle Tennessee. After getting his start in funeral service at the age of 14, Randy soon realized that funeral service would be his life’s work.
Since 2016, Garry Jones, the late Janice Davis, Tommy Womack, Wayne Vantrease, and Blake Vantrease served families through their business, Sumner County Funeral and Cremation Services and Randy is proud continue with that tradition of service. Though we will continue under a new name, our mission remains the same: to serve families as they are our own, help families celebrate the life of their loved one, and help them begin the healing process.
