Our Beginnings
Families have been placing their trust in us for generations. We have always made outstanding service our #1 priority and are honored to serve you since 1930.
In 1930, Ira M. Speck began working for Blount Funeral Home as an ambulance driver. Mr. Speck began to assist Mr. Blount in other areas of funeral service, thus creating an interest in becoming a Funeral Director and Embalmer.
Another funeral home in Livingston, the Ridley Funeral Home was purchased in 1940 by Shirley, Frank, Ira and Vera Hyder Speck. During this time Shirley and Frank Speck were also owners of Speck Brothers hardware in Livingston, Tenn. Later Verlin and Hollis Hyder (brothers to Vera Speck) bought Shirley and Frank Speck’s part of the funeral home changing the name to Speck-Hyder Funeral Home. Later, Hollis Hyder sold his share to the other partners. The firm was known as Speck-Hyder Funeral Home for many years. It was also during this time that Overton County Memorial Gardens was founded by Verlin Hyder Sr. and Ira M. Speck.
Verlin Hyder, Sr. passed away September 28, 1973. His wife Hazel Ledbetter Hyder, and their son Verlin Hyder Jr. continued to assist in operating the funeral home until 1976. At this time the partnership ended, and again the funeral home became known as the Speck Funeral Home.
