Tyree Funeral Home
Oak Hill, West Virginia

After being pronounced dead at the Oak Hill hospital, Hank Williams' body was taken to Tyree Funeral Home.  The funeral home was located directly across Main Street from the hospital.  His autopsy was also performed at the funeral home.

Above is a 2006 photo of the former funeral home, which is now Main Street Pharmacy.
Note the front area has been remodeled.  This photo was taken from the hospital parking lot.
Hank's driver, Charles Carr, apparently spent the night in an upstairs room.

The above photo was taken from the hospital parking lot.

The blurry photo above is looking south along Main Street.  The hospital is not visible but
is off the right side of the photo.  Burdette's Pure Oil Station is located at the traffic light
barely visible in the background.

The above photo is the rear of the former Tyree Funeral Home.
