At Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Homes, we are honored to serve you. Since 1916, our family has been privileged to care for families throughout the greater Kingsport area, helping individuals journey through some of life’s most difficult final decisions.
Three generations of experience have taught us that life is the most delicate in the presence of death. With this understanding and a heart of compassion, it’s our desire to serve you with complete empathy and integrity.
Pets are part of our family.This is why Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Homes has established the Cherished Companions Pet Crematory, a facility specifically designed to provide local pet cremation services.
• Locally and family-owned
• On-site crematory
• We work closely with local participating veterinary offices to transfer your deceased pet to our crematory between 1 to 2 business days after notification.
• An ID tag stays with your pet from the time of transfer and throughout the entire cremation process to guarantee 100% identification.
• Your pets remains will be placed in a substantial, hardwood and hand-crafted urn, which is included in the price.
• Only a private cremation will be offered for your pet. Your pet will be totally alone during cremation to assure you will get your pet back.
• If desired, an obituary will be available for your pet on our Cherished Companions website.
• You may make an appointment to be present at the beginning of your pet’s cremation, allowing you to give your final goodbye.
We realize that the loss of your pet’s companionship can cause deep sorrow. We understand your needs and can assist you in making the right decisions regarding final arrangements for your pet. We promise that each pet will be taken care of and given individual attention at our pet crematory.
Our concern for proper cremation procedures led to our decision to establish our own on-site human crematory in 2004. Hamlett-Dobson is the only Kingsport firm that owns and operates its own cremation facilities. This ensures the absolute highest standards of care and accountability. We maintain state-of-the-art equipment in an impeccably clean facility, and observe strict procedures that ensure the highest legal and ethical standards.
With that same belief, we are now committed to caring for the entire family — including your beloved pets. Our facility houses not only a human crematory, but also one designed and constructed exclusively for pets.
At Cherished Companions, your pet will be cared for by our professionally trained staff from the moment you contact us, and this care will continue through the cremation process. We are the cremation experts. That’s our family’s promise to you
