House Joint Resolution 178, sponsored by Gant, recognizes and honors Peebles Funeral Home for its long-standing service to the West Tennessee community since its establishment in 1884. The resolution highlights the funeral home's rich history, tracing its roots back to Colonel Simon H. Walker, the first undertaker in Fayette County, who began making coffins in 1826. Over the years, the business has evolved through various ownerships and changes in the funeral industry, ultimately leading to the current ownership by Michael and Jennifer Tilghman, who purchased the business in 2014.

The resolution commends Peebles Funeral Home for its commitment to excellence and the compassionate service it has provided to families during their times of loss. It acknowledges the funeral home's significant contributions to the community over the past 141 years and emphasizes the dedication of its owners and employees in maintaining high standards of care and service. The resolution concludes with a call for an appropriate copy to be prepared for presentation, celebrating this exemplary institution in Tennessee.
