Funeral Home & Cremation Services Serving Cordova, TN
Losing someone puts your family in the middle of hard decisions at the hardest possible time. You need a funeral home that listens, does not rush you, and builds a service around the person you lost. Peebles Fayette County Funeral Homes and Cremation Center has done that for families across West Tennessee and the greater Memphis area since 1884, and we serve Cordova families with that same care.
We are available any hour of the day or night at 901-465-3535.
A Family-Owned Funeral Home Serving the Cordova Area
Peebles Fayette County Funeral Homes and Cremation Center is one of the few remaining family-owned funeral homes in West Tennessee. Much of the Memphis metropolitan funeral market has been absorbed by national corporate chains. Peebles has not. That matters when your family is at its most vulnerable.
Michael and Jennifer Tilghman have owned and operated Peebles since 2014, carrying forward more than 140 years of family service. Our mission since 1884 has been to honor the lives of those we care for and support their families with empathy and professionalism.
We back that with a service guarantee: if you are not completely satisfied with any service or facility offering, we reduce or eliminate that charge. No other funeral home in our area offers this guarantee.
Funeral Services for Cordova, TN Families
Peebles offers traditional funeral and memorial services for Cordova families, built around the faith, personality, and values of your loved one.
Visitation
Visitation gives family and friends time to gather, share memories, and be present with one another. We work with your family to shape the experience with tribute videos, photographs, displays, or personal items that reflect your loved one.
Funeral Service
The funeral service can be held at a location your family chooses: a house of worship, our chapel, or another setting. We work with families to build services around stories, music, or scripture. For families who do not want a clergy member, our certified celebrants are trained to lead services that bring people together and help them begin to grieve well. A celebrant service is $325.
Graveside Service
A graveside or committal service is a small gathering held at the burial site. It may follow a funeral service or serve as the primary farewell for families who want something simple and quiet.
Storytelling by the Campfire
This service is exclusive to Peebles. Family and friends gather by the lake behind our West Chapel in Oakland, sit around a fire, and share stories about the person they lost. Simple, personal, and real. Available for $425.
Cremation Services for Cordova, TN Families
Cremation is chosen by a growing number of families in the Memphis area. Peebles has operated its own on-site cremation center since 2003. Your loved one never leaves our care.
Peace of Mind Cremation
Every cremation we perform uses an 11-step barcode verification system, fingerprint archiving, and stainless steel identification tags to confirm positive identification from arrival through the return of cremated remains. When cremation is complete, we personally deliver the remains to your family. No additional charge.
Traditional Funeral Service Followed by Cremation
Families who choose cremation can still have a full funeral first. This option includes a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service, with cremation following. Cremated remains may be returned in an urn, placed in a columbarium niche, buried in-ground, or scattered.
Memorial Service or Celebration of Life
A memorial service can be held before or after cremation at a location your family selects. No casket is present. Our chapel or another location can be set up with photographs and personal items from the home.
Scattering Stream
Peebles offers the area's first dedicated cremation scattering stream, beside the lake at our West Chapel in Oakland. Families scatter cremated remains in a quiet, natural setting. Available for $295.
Cremation Memorialization Options
After cremation, families have several options for the permanent placement of remains.
Keeping an Urn at Home
Many families keep an urn at home. Peebles carries urns starting at $50 across a wide range of styles and materials.
Placing the Urn in a Columbarium
A columbarium niche provides a permanent resting place family members can visit.
Burying the Urn
In-ground burial gives the cremated remains a grave marker and a permanent location for family to visit, similar to a traditional burial.
Scattering the Cremated Remains
Some families scatter remains at a place that held significance for their loved one. Our on-site Scattering Stream at Oakland provides a dedicated setting for this.

What is the difference between a funeral service and a cremation memorial service?
A funeral service takes place with the body present, typically before burial or cremation. A cremation memorial service is held after cremation, giving families more flexibility in timing, location, and format. Both can be personalized to fit your family. The better choice depends on your family's values, traditions, and what will bring the most comfort to those who are grieving.
Can Cordova families still have a viewing before cremation?
Yes. Choosing cremation does not mean giving up a final viewing or visitation. A traditional service with a viewing can be held before cremation. Many families choose this when they want the chance to say goodbye in person while still opting for cremation over burial.
Do you offer veteran funeral and cremation services for Cordova families?
Yes. When a veteran is served through a traditional funeral or memorial service, Peebles coordinates military honors at no charge. That includes one hand-pressed U.S. flag, one premium wood flag case, and one U.S. Armed Forces embroidered emblem. We also collect retired American flags throughout the year and drape them across the casket at the time of cremation to honor the veterans in our care. Our veterans have already paid the price.
