Our Heritage
Clarence Dotson & his wife, Jeweldene Williamson, opened Dotson Funeral Home in August, 1979 in the Wildwood Community of Blount County (almost midway between Maryville & Seymour, TN). They chose this picturesque, natural setting so that families could honor the life of their loved ones in a peaceful place.
The Dotson's oldest son, Barry, also earned his Funeral Director & Embalmer's license. He joined the firm full time in 1982.
In 1992, the Dotson Family welcomed Mr. Walter Harrill as a lead director and was honored to merge with his legacy at Harrill Funeral Home.
Brent Dotson, Clarence & Jeweldene's youngest son, joined the firm in 1997 as managing partner after earning his Funeral Director's License and graduating Cum Laude from the University of Tennessee with a B.S. in Business Administration. In 2013, Brent earned his Certified Cremation Specialist from the ICCFA University, an industry specific training academy.
Over the years, Dotson Funeral Home & Cremation has undergone expansions & renovations and recently updated our name. Adding "Cremation" to our name reflects our commitment to serving the needs of our community's as more than half the families we now serve choose cremation.
