The only incorporated town in Hickman County

Centerville sits at the center of Hickman County in the Duck River valley, about 55 miles southwest of Nashville. It is the county seat and the county's only incorporated town, home to about 3,530 people. The town square sits on SR 100, and SR 50 and SR 48 also pass through. A statue of Minnie Pearl, the comedian who grew up here, stands on the square, and the nearby community of Grinder's Switch carries her memory too.

The housing pattern is a familiar one for a rural county seat: older homes near the square, with rural residential land spreading out around town. Fairfield marks the northern end of the town limits. Parks and green space include C.A. Thompson Park, RiverPark and a municipal golf course, and Centerville Municipal Airport serves small aircraft.

Health care, homes and the cleanups that follow

Centerville is home to Ascension Saint Thomas Hickman Hospital on East Swan Street, the first hospital in Tennessee to qualify as a Critical Access Hospital. A hospital in town means patients come and go from homes across the county, and a call here could involve the aftermath of illness, home hospice care or a medical emergency that happened before someone could get to the hospital.

Other calls we expect here:

Older homes near the square after a death or long illness
Rural houses and outbuildings with rodent droppings or animal waste
Sewage or septic backups in homes near the river and on the outskirts
Businesses on and around the square that need after-hours cleanup
Vehicles used to transport someone during an emergency

Frequently asked questions

A relative was on hospice at home in Centerville and has passed. Do you clean in that situation?

Yes, when bodily fluids or soiled materials remain after the funeral home has cared for your loved one. We remove contaminated bedding and materials, clean and disinfect, and dispose of waste appropriately. Medical equipment is returned to its supplier by the family or hospice.

Do you cover homes outside Centerville town limits?

Yes. Since Centerville is Hickman County's only incorporated town, most county residents live outside it, and we serve all of them. Give us the road name and a landmark or two so we can find you.

Who must release a Centerville home before cleanup after a death?

For a reportable death, the Hickman County medical examiner must authorize moving the body, and law enforcement may also be involved. We start once the home has been released.
