Putnam-Reed Funeral Home

Putnam-Reed Funeral Home has been a cornerstone of Pikeville, Tennessee, and the surrounding Sequatchie Valley since its founding in 1916. Established by R.G. "Roscoe" Putnam in the back room of Putnam Grocery Store, the funeral home has grown into a trusted institution known for its compassionate care, integrity, and deep community roots. For over a century, it has guided families through some of life's most difficult moments with dignity, respect, and personalized attention. Today, the funeral home is operated by Eric Reed and Heather Reed-Poston, who continue the legacy begun by their predecessors, including George and Treva Reed. Their leadership ensures that the values of family-focused service and professional care remain at the heart of every interaction. Putnam-Reed Funeral Home offers a comprehensive range of services designed to honor each life in a meaningful way. These include traditional funeral services, memorial services, celebrations of life, graveside services, and personalized tribute planning. The staff provides compassionate guidance on obituary assistance, grief support resources, and end-of-life planning. They work closely with families to create services that reflect personal values, traditions, and cherished memories. The funeral home is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring support is always accessible when needed. In addition to its longstanding service, the funeral home provides financial assistance options and accommodates both burial and cremation services. Its facilities are wheelchair accessible and include on-site parking, making it convenient for all visitors. Putnam-Reed Funeral Home is more than a business; it is a community partner that supports local families, churches, and organizations.
