Description
In June of 1988, five Erwin, Tennessee business men, including funeral director Michael D. Peterson, formed a corporation with the purpose of constructing and operating Unicoi County's fourth funeral home. They acquired property on Main Street that had housed an automobile dealership, a tire and appliance center, and later a van conversion center. They immediately began the renovations to make the building suitable for use as a funeral home, including a new roof structure, interior walls, ceilings, carpeting, exterior brick, and paving. On September third and fourth of that year, just ten weeks after renovation began, an open house hosted several hundred people of the community, and Valley Funeral Home began serving Erwin and the surrounding area. In February of 1989, "The Southern Funeral Director" magazine selected Valley Funeral Home as the month's feature firm. A photograph of the facility appeared on the cover of the publication, and a story with additional photographs were included inside. Valley Funeral Home has a church-type chapel with vaulted ceiling and private family room, offices, and a large reception area. Since 1992, four years after the opening of the funeral home, Valley Funeral Home became the leading funeral home in Unicoi County. Since the start of Valley Funeral Home in 1988, Valley Funeral Home has been increasingly preferred. In 2002 the funeral home served more families than all other funeral homes in Erwin combined. We are proud to be the funeral home of choice for the families of Erwin and Unicoi County.

Respectful, professional, and friendly. Truly loving team who made my family’s wishes THE priority after my Daddy’s passing. They went over every detail with our family and empowered us to make decisions that worked for us without pressure. Would recommend again and again. 5 stars.

As the commander of the Carter County American Legion post 49 Honor Guard I have to work closely with the staff of Valley. Funeral chapel. They are very dedicated to serve our Veterans with the highest honors possible at the time of their death. They go beyond the normal to see that the wishes of the families are carried out. I'm proud to know that a funeral such as Valley gives this kind of attention to the needs of a veteran and their families at the time when their lives have been touch I by the loss of their loved one.

The ladies did a great job and cared about taking down what we wanted for our loved one.Things went down hill from there.We had police escort planned.When we went to our cars we were not lined up and not reminded to turn our head lights on.They did not block road so everyone could get out. The hearse pulls out and were scrambling to our cars to get out then we get caught up I have never saw a hearse drive so fast. We get to cemetery and the police were planned to block road there for safety of crossing a dangerous road. People almost hit by cars driving by. People showed up 20 minutes later and graveside service was over due to not staying on scheduled time. Losing a loved one is very hard and this was very hurtful to see how rushed it became from the time the driver got in hearse until we left the grave yard. I am very disappointed and have used this funeral home for other family members but as far as for the family members I will be responsible for to bury if and when the time comes I will not choose this funeral home again because of the inconsiderate driver and how unorganized it became when departing from funeral home.
