Our Carter-Trent Locations

Carter-Trent Funeral Homes is a funeral home brand operating three locations across the Tri-Cities region of Tennessee and Virginia. The brand traces its origin to 1920, when J.W. Huff and J. Frank Nelson established Huff Funeral Home in downtown Kingsport, Tennessee. The business operated under several names over subsequent decades before Dean Trent — a founding member of the Independent Funeral Directors Association and a long-standing member of the Tennessee Funeral Directors Association — acquired the Kingsport location in 1991 and established the Carter-Trent name. The brand reached its current three-location footprint through a combination of organic expansion and acquisition, with additions in 1996 and 2003. The Carter-Trent brand encompasses three funeral homes; one location includes an on-site crematory.

Each Carter-Trent location serves families in its own community and surrounding area, operating with its own staff, facilities, and arrangement options. Families work directly with the staff at their chosen location through all phases of the arrangement process. Specific facility features, available services, and capacity vary by location.

All Carter-Trent locations offer burial services, cremation services, funeral and memorial services, pre-need planning, reception and catered events, veterans services including military honors, and certified celebrant services. Memorial diamonds are available through a partner provider at each location. Across the brand, reviews consistently reflect staff attentiveness to individual family preferences and willingness to accommodate specific requests.

Individual location pages contain details about facility features, service options, geographic coverage, and arrangement contacts.
