About Us

Mynatt Funeral Homes, Inc. Family Owned and Operated

Mynatt Funeral Home is a family owned and operated business in Knoxville, TN, composed of 57 full-time and part-time employees. We were founded in 1900 by the late Ernest Mynatt of Halls Crossroads, TN, where he and his son Kyle sold caskets out of Mynatt Hardware Store. In 1929, after his father’s passing, Kyle was intrigued by the funeral profession that he branched out the business into Fountain City, TN, to form our present location at 2829 Rennoc Rd. Kyle, along with his wife Wilma, proceeded to manage and operate Mynatt Funeral Home, and over the next few years our staff grew to include Walter E. “Bud” Coomer and wife Mary, Ronald Hill, and Buddy Coomer, son of Bud and Mary, as well as several others. After the passing of Wilma in 1998, the business was left to Bud, Ronald, and Buddy. Today our company is still owned and operated by Buddy and the Hill family since the passing of Mary in 2008, Bud in 2013 and Ronald in 2019. Carrying on the family tradition Ronald’s daughter, Angie, joined the staff in 2013, to carry on in the footsteps of her father. In 2005, Mynatt Funeral Home expanded back to Halls Crossroads with a second Chapel, 4131 East Emory Rd. exceedingly close to our original beginning, and in May of 2023, Mynatt Funeral Home opened their third location, 2000 Powell Dr., to better serve our families. After 123 years of business, the Mynatt Funeral Home family and staff look forward to many more years of serving the Knoxville area as a family owned business.
