Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews that got them there:

“If I ever saw you again, it would be too soon, but on the same token, I know my family and I would be well taken care of. [They have a] really down-to-earth, caring and compassionate staff. Their assistance along the way is very relaxed and reassuring. Going beyond expectations, they were taking calls outside of normal business hours and during the weekend. I have to shout out Virginia for being an absolute peach and diligent aid during the time of bereavement. Nashville is blessed to have a team like this ready, willing and able to make these see-you-later services as stress-free as possible. LOOK NO FURTHER, YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!” – C.B.

Not Your Average Funeral Home

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Bob, the owner of Ellis Funeral Home & Cremation Service.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Bob about what makes Ellis Funeral Home & Cremation Service unique compared to the many other funeral homes and services in Tennessee. Bob told us:

‘Number one, it is the service we give, and we underprice the cooperate places. We have a very personal touch and a strong relationship with our customers.”

We also asked Bob about the Ellis Funeral Home & Cremation Service mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Bob had to say:

“Our community is going through a metamorphosis as Nashville grows, and investors are buying everything they can. We want to see the community improve, increase per capita income, and we want to clean up the neighborhood.”

Building Success With Good Customers

Bob credits Ellis Funeral Home & Cremation Service’s strong online reputation to their good customers:

“We have good customers, good families that we have served over and over and over. We thank all customers and everyone who walks in the door. We like to make it personal, shake everybody’s hand and know everyone around town. We are family operated, not a corporate environment; it feels like a home. We have certified cremation specialists on staff as well”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Ellis Funeral Home & Cremation Service has grown through word of mouth, Facebook and other social media sites, SEO (social media optimization) and by working with marketing companies.

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Bob’s expert advice for them:

“If you want to grow your business, get after social media and have an online presence. Target whatever area you want to target to corner your market. Find out what your niche is, and concentrate on your niche.”
