Phillip, a native of Smith County, started in the funeral business when he was 16 years of age at the Hackett Funeral home in Smith County. It was his ambition to have his own business. In 1977, he purchased the present Anderson & Son Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Lafayette and in 1986, he purchased the former Alexander Funeral Home in Red Boiling Springs renaming it Anderson & Son Funeral Home. He and his wife, Shirley, built the Anderson & Anderson Funeral Home in Gallatin, operating for five year before selling to Tony Alexander. They love Gallatin and wanted to come back. Having a love for history and old historic buildings in particular, they purchased the building that is over 100 years old that had housed the fomer Harris-Donoho Funeral Home and the former Newby Funeral Home. After extensive renovation with emphasis on keeping as much originality as possible, they opened the Anderson Funeral Home in September, 2011. The funeral home is operated by our family and staff. He is a member and past President of the Lafayette Rotary Club and a member of the Cornwell’s Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. Phillip is married to the former Shirley Lowery, has a son and three grandchildren. Mr. Anderson sadly passed away on July 31, 2020, he will surely be missed by our family and staff.
