We’re proud to announce an exciting new chapter as Brent Taylor Funeral Directors becomes Oak Grove Funerals and Cremations.

While our name is changing, our commitment to serving families with compassion, professionalism, and care remains the same. This transition reflects our vision for the future while honoring the long-standing traditions of service that have supported the Collierville community for generations.

The name Oak Grove pays tribute to the history and heritage of the area while representing growth, renewal, and a welcoming place for families to gather, remember, and heal.

As the days pass you will see our website change as well - and not to worry, all obituary postings from the old site will still be on the new site as well. Additionally all records and pre-arranged cases are still safely in place.

We are grateful for the trust this community has placed in us and look forward to continuing to serve families under our new name: Oak Grove Funerals and Cremations.
