General Info

Joe and Flossie Jernigan founded Jernigan Funeral Home in Dunn, North Carolina, in 1930. Two years later they moved their business to the 500 Block of Hay Street in Fayetteville, and then to 206 Gillespie Street, where the business remained until 1958, when the present Funeral Home was built at its location on Ramsey Street. This building was renovated in the early 1970s, creating larger visitation rooms and additional offices. In 1946, Charles Warren, Joe and Flossie Jernigan's nephew, purchased a one-third interest in the business, and upon Joe Jernigan's retirement in 1952, Charles Warren and Flossie Jernigan became co-owners. Mrs. Jernigan passed away in 1989, and Charles Warren became sole owner.
