Woodfin Funeral Chapel
Location: Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Project Scope: New memorial chapel construction
The original Woodfin Funeral Chapel was completely destroyed in a fire in 1999. After closing for a year, they worked with the Dow Smith team to build a new facility adjacent to their first location. The 30,000-square-foot funeral home includes a chapel, various viewing rooms, a climate- and temperature-controlled embalming facility, and a crematorium. Given the need to reopen for business, the short timeline was a challenge. Owner Bubba Woodfin found Dow Smith Company through word-of-mouth and a family connection.
Designing and building a new church facility or undertaking a significant renovation is a monumental endeavor, representing a profound commitment to ministry and a strategic investment in the future. Thoughtful planning is paramount to ensure the new space effectively serves its purpose, fosters spiritual growth, and remains relevant for generations.
