Valley Funeral Home

Valley Funeral Home We have years of experience caring for families from all walks of life. At that point, Valley Funeral Home began serving Erwin and the surrounding area.

Our History


In June of 1988, five Erwin 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. 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. By 1992, only four years after the opening of the funeral home, Valley Funeral Home became the leading funeral home in Unicoi County. In 2002 the funeral home served more families than all other funeral homes in Erwin combined! Our commitment to families has grown our business, and we are proud to be the funeral home of choice for the families of Erwin and Unicoi County.
