Casey Stephens is the 3rd Generation of his family to answer the call to compassionately serve middle Tennessee families during the loss of a loved one. For 16 years, Casey served in the day to day operations at Williamson Memorial Funeral Home, (Franklin, TN) and Spring Hill Memorial Funeral Home (Spring Hill, TN). Both locations were built by his grandparents Clyde & Nellie Stephens, and Casey's father, David

   During his 16 years of funeral industry experience, Casey has worked with and helped serve over 3,500 families and is a licensed funeral director, embalmer and crematory manager who attended Middle Tennessee State University and is graduate of John A. Gupton College. In December of 2022 Casey purchased Lawrence Funeral Home so he could continue his passion to serve families in difficult times.

  Casey was born and raised in the Bethesda Community of Franklin, TN and is a graduate of Page High School and is a member of Noon Rotary and graduate of Leadership Franklin and Leadership Maury. He is married to his beautiful wife, Cristy Stephens and they have three wonderful wild boys, Everett, Nolan and Wyatt.

I'm honored to serve families in middle Tennessee, as part of the Stephens Funeral Service team. I live in Franklin, Tennessee with my wonderful wife and our three amazing children. As a long-time resident of this community, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside families during some of life’s most difficult moments.


Faith is a central part of my life—I’m a practicing Catholic and an active member of St. Philip Catholic Church here in Franklin. I strive to bring compassion, dignity, and a spirit of service to every family I meet, drawing on both my professional experience and my personal values.


Our family stays busy with travel soccer, soccer is a big part of our lives!  I also take great pride in our daughter, who is currently a junior at The Citadel. Watching her grow through that experience has been an incredible blessing.


It’s truly a privilege to support others through this meaningful work and to serve the families of this community with care, respect, and heart.
