About Scales Funeral Home Inc

Scales Funeral Home Inc is an independently owned funeral home serving the Nashville area, which means families typically work directly with the owners rather than a regional or national corporation. As a full-service provider, they are equipped to assist with a range of arrangements, though specific details about services such as pre-planning, veterans' assistance, or specialized offerings are not available here. Direct cremation starts at $2,895, which sits on the higher end compared to some Nashville-area providers, so families with budget constraints may want to request a full price list before making a decision. On Google, Scales holds a 4.4-star rating across 37 reviews, a solid score though the relatively modest number of reviews means it reflects a narrower range of experiences than some more established or higher-volume providers in the area.

New Generation combines quality care, excellent service and personal empathy. Not only have I worked with them personally during a family death, I've also attended services of other friends and family. The NG Team hits the mark consistently.
