Daniel
Charles Cullop
I
was born on July 23, 1962 in Banner Elk, North
Carolina to Raymond “Bud” Cullop and Katherine
Huggins Cullop. I am a 1980 graduate of Johnson
County High School. In 1985, I
married Patsy Rhymer and we have two children,
Shawna, who is a freshman at East Tennessee State
University and Eric, who is a sophomore at Johnson
County High School. My family and I attend First
Baptist Church, where I serve as
deacon.
I
was employed by the Town of Mountain City from 1981
until 1986 as a police officer. After
leaving this position, I was employed by Tri-State
Growers of Mountain City from 1986 until 1990. In
1990 I was elected Johnson County Clerk and proudly
served in this position for sixteen years. During
this time, I also volunteered as a member of the
Mountain City Fire Department, where I served as
chief for five years. I am currently serving as
President of the Johnson County Kiwanis Club,
President of the Johnson County Gideon Camp and for
several years have served as President of the
Phillippi Cemetery Incorporated. In October,
2005, Mountain City Funeral Home was established
where I serve as President and devote my time to
serving the families of Johnson County. In April,
2007, I was named to the Board of Directors of
Farmers State Bank.
I
consider it an honor and a privilege to live in this
area and to be able to offer assistance in your time
of need.
Please feel free to call or come by
anytime.

Bass
I
was born and raised in Florida and I now live part
time in Okeechobee, Florida and Mountain City. I went
to college in Troy State, Alabama and then transfered
to Dallas, Texas to mortuary college and graduated in
1966. I've always been a dedicated funeral
director thinking of each family in their time of need
and what I can do to help them. My lovely wife
Gail and I own a home in the Maymead
community. We have a daughter Becky and four
grandchildren. We lost our son Van, in 2001.
Shortly after his death, we sold the Bass-Okeechobee
Funeral Home after 27 years. I felt in my heart
that Mountain City needed a locally owned funeral
home, so here we are. We love Mountain City and
all the wonderful people here. I have always
felt helping people is my calling and I could not have
found two better men than Danny and Hugh along with
their families to help me in my calling.

Slemp
I am a native of
Johnson County and a graduate of Johnson County High
School. My parents were Orville and Lola Slemp and I
now reside at the home place on 421 north. I
worked at Bristol Steel for 28 years, at which
time my mother died and I became interested in the
funeral business. I graduated from Gupton-Jones
College of Mortuary Science in Atlanta in 1993. Being
in funeral service since then, I have learned that
this is a ministry and I try to treat each family with
compassion.
I am a licensed funeral director and embalmer
in Tennessee and Virginia. I am married to Loretta
Warren and we have two children and four grandchildren
and we attend the Baptist
Church
