Funeral Alternatives

For over 100 years, we have been helping families create unique funeral alternatives. Some families prefer an offsite location for their memorial service or funeral compared to one of our two locations in Abingdon. Whether that is at your church or place of worship or at any other type of venue, the staff at Farris’ can help you plan and organize a unique service setting. Some funeral alternative sites we have arranged services at are:

  • Golf course
  • Local event venues
  • Southwest Higher Education Center
  • The Creeper Trail
  • Local riverbanks
  • South Holston Lake
  • Personal residence
  • Family farms
  • Local mountain settings

Give us a call and let us help you plan a unique celebration of life at an alternative setting that is special to you.
