What Taylor’s Individual Tribute Pages Can Do
A particularly useful Taylor tool
Use “Upcoming Services” When You Need to Attend
Taylor maintains a separate Upcoming Services page. It can be more useful than the obituary directory when your main question is “Where do I need to be?”
Taylor’s Upcoming Services page listed lie-in-state, visitation and funeral at 3417 Wilcox Boulevard, followed by burial at Chattanooga National Cemetery, 1200 Bailey Avenue.
The official service listing showed Taylor Funeral Home events followed by burial at Highland Memorial Gardens Cemetery on Shepherd Road.
A date-oriented list of upcoming Taylor services with event type, time, venue and burial information when scheduled.
Why venue checking matters
Not Every Taylor Funeral Is Held at Taylor Funeral Home
Anntanella D. Willingham
Her official 2026 memorial listed lie-in-state and the funeral service at Union Hill Missionary Baptist Church.
Daniel Jackson-Gladden
His official memorial listed the service at Mount Canaan Church and burial at Lakewood Memory Gardens East.
Bonnie Henry
Her memorial service was listed in the Chapel of Taylor Funeral Home.
Open the deceased person’s Events or obituary page first. The church or cemetery may be the correct destination.
Remote attendance
Taylor Can Offer Live Streaming and Service Recording
Taylor’s official service-enhancement page lists live streaming and webcasting for people who cannot attend in person. It also says a service can be recorded for future viewing.
Check the obituary
Individual memorial text can contain a direct service-stream link.
Use the person’s link
Do not reuse another family’s streaming URL.
Check the event time
A stream may not become active until the service begins.
Recording may be available
Taylor lists service recording as part of its webcasting option.
Doris McElrath’s 2026 Taylor memorial included a direct OneRoom streaming link for the service.
Do not assume there is a public stream. Taylor offers the capability, but that does not mean every family selects it.
