Joyce, There are 2 Woodfin Funeral Chapels in Rutherford County -- one in Murfreesboro (they had the fire) and one in Smyrna. I don't know how much, if any, of their records were lost in the fire; I've been afraid to find out myself. I was born and raised in Murfreesboro and many of my relatives had their funerals there. In fact, the fire occurred on February 10, 2000 -- the day after my aunt's funeral. But I digress... Since your gg grandparents are buried in Smyrna, they were probably at the Smyrna chapel. Just in case, here are the phone numbers for both locations: Woodfin Funeral Chapel Woodfin Funeral Chapel New Lascassas Pike/State Highway 96 203 N. Lowry Murfreesboro, TN 37130 Smyrna, TN 37167 615-893-5151 615-459-3254 I don't have the exact address for the new Murfreesboro chapel, but it's not far from the old location. The old location was at 915 N Tennessee Blvd. (at the corner of Tennessee Blvd. and Greenland Ave., across the street from MTSU). I hope this helps in your search.

I receive my gg grandfather's death certif. hoping it would list the cemtery, but it doesn't. It does list the funeral home that handled the service (WOODFIN) but I did a search and found that they'd had a bad fire and now I'm afraid I won't be able to find the information. Does anyone know if their records were saved? How about a phone number so that I may call them? My gg grandparents are buried somewhere in SMYRNA and their names were HENRY JONES HARRELL and NANCY BELL HARRELL. HJ Harrell died in 1937. Does anyone have a recollection of seeing their grave? Any help would be appreciated tremendously.
