Premier Sharp Funeral Home was founded in 1938 by the late William F. Sharp, Jr. The funeral home operated successfully under his expert direction for 53 years.

The funeral home building underwent three restorations and additions during Sharp's ownership. Under each re-construction the building was enlarged into what it is today.

The Premier Sharp Funeral Home building is a unique and modern funeral facility with continual upgrades to maintain a state of the art facility while maintaining a traditional look especially with the collection of antique furniture which enhances and decorates each room.

Mr. Sharp advertised the funeral facility following each restoration as a modern funeral facility providing a prompt and efficient service. Additionally the funeral home operated an ambulance service and sold “burial insurance”.

Following the death of William F. Sharp, Jr. the funeral home was purchased by Jimmy and Brenda Smith in June of 1992. Jimmy, a third generation funeral director, and his wife brought a long history in the funeral service to Oliver Springs, having owned and operated Mt. Pleasant Funeral Home is Harlan, Kentucky for 12 years.   

Today, Premier Sharp Funeral Home remains a locally operated funeral home, focusing on providing quality funeral and cremation services to families in Anderson, Roane, and Morgan Counties.
