Bryant Presley Joins George Halford To Discuss How Faith & The Funeral Bug Have Shaped His Life

Loading player...
George Halford sits down with Bryant Presley, a former funeral home owner whose life has been shaped by faith, family, and decades of service. Born on Detroit’s east side before moving to Tennessee in 1971, Presley says he was “bit with the funeral bug” early on after working in a funeral home during school. He went on to manage several funeral homes across Kingsport and even purchased the old Cookeville Funeral Home so his son Seth could return home and continue the work. Presley, a preacher for more than forty years, also reflects on his relationship with God and how heart trouble eventually led him to step away, bringing him to Hooper Huddleston & Horner.
