Advantage Funeral & Cremation Services – Franklin-Strickland Chapel occupies a distinctive position in Chattanooga's funeral market. The business formed when J. Avery Bryan Funeral Home, Franklin Strickland Funeral Directors, and Prestige Funeral Services merged operations with a specific mandate: delivering modestly priced products and services from a single convenient location. The facility sits on McCallie Avenue between Highland Park and Orchard Knob, positioned eight blocks from Chattanooga National Cemetery.
The operation emphasizes transparency and accessibility. Families can complete arrangements in person, by phone, or via email with electronic signature capability—eliminating the requirement for a funeral home visit. The business promotes an "Advantage Low-Price Guarantee" positioning itself as an alternative to traditional funeral homes without sacrificing service quality. Staff members include personnel specifically noted by customers, such as Felicia and Falecia, who have received public recognition for professional service.
The facility accommodates diverse cultural and religious needs, with specific infrastructure for Jewish ritual washing (Tahara room), incense burning, and Latin music selections. The chapel seats up to 250 guests and features updated audiovisual equipment for multimedia tribute videos, which staff create in-house.
