Obituary
Scott Rhea McClelland
Youngsville, North Carolina
Age 66.
Died 02/27/2022.
Scott’s career began with Piedmont Airlines at Tri-Cities Airport and then to Charlotte with USAirways where he worked (and played more than a few practical jokes!) for 29 years. Nicknamed “Sasquatch” due to his 6’5” frame he was always an avid outdoorsman participating in fishing and golf tournaments, as well as hunting, camping and horseback riding with family and friends. Each year, everyone who knew Scotty looked forward to celebrating his birthday on New Years Eve, which often featured an enormous pot of elk stew or chili made with game from his hunting adventures in Colorado. After returning to the family home in Bluff City, Scott enjoyed working around the farm, many DIY projects and entertaining friends during Bristol race weekends.
Scott and Cathey were married, until his death, for 42 years and are blessed with two sons and three grandchildren: Jessee Rhea McClelland and wife Kimberly Sutton, their sons Owen Page and Stewart Scott; Michael Lee Page McClelland and wife Raisa Dwialamsyah, their daughter Freya Isabelle. He is also survived by his sister Bobby Lynn (Cunningham) Wright, nephew Josh Cunningham and wife Lauren, and their children Addie and Eli; sister-in-law Debra Chappell (McClelland), brothers-in-law Steve Green, Donald Green and wife Amanda, Gary Green and wife Patricia . In addition to his parents, Scott was preceded in death by his brother John Page McClelland III and brother-in-law Don Wright, brother-law Daren Green and wife Lynn, sister-in-law Peggy Green.
The family will hold a celebration of life in both North Carolina and Tennessee.
The Interment service will be held Saturday, March 19th at Sunrise Cemetery in Bluff City, TN at 10:00 a.m. - All are welcome . Afterwards, the family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. at Riverbend Retreat 108 Blevins Road, Johnson City.

Apples to Apples

An immediate burial has the same end result as a traditional burial; however, we have eliminated the extra (sometimes unnecessary) services prior to getting to the cemetery. Not everyone wants an open casket for viewing or a limousine for the family. Despite the term immediate, we can move as fast as you need or as slow as you like. This option simply allows you to save money by eliminating some of the fancy extras at the funeral home.
$3033.75
This establishment is one of a select number of funeral homes who meet the criteria for providing green funeral service by the Green Burial Council; a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization working to encourage environmentally sustainability in the field of funeral service. Our Green options allow for a funeral to take place without the use of toxic and non-biodegradable materials/chemicals.
$6081.48
We offer the same traditional funeral services as the big corporately owned funeral homes in the area; however, we cost about half the amount. You might consider a traditional funeral service if your family is looking for an open casket visitation, a traditional church service or a funeral service in the funeral home's chapel. A traditional funeral service can be altered to fit the needs of your family.
$2640.59
As an alternative to traditional cremation, City of Oaks Funeral Home also offers Aquamation. The Aquamation process, often referred to as alkaline hydrolysis, uses a solution of water and potassium hydroxide to facilitate natural decomposition.
