In 1930, Jernigan Funeral Home was founded in Dunn, North Carolina by the late Joe Jernigan and his wife, Flossie Jernigan. In 1932, the Jernigans moved the location of the Funeral Home to the 500 block of Hay St. in Fayetteville. From there, the business moved to 206 Gillespie St, where it stayed until the present location was established on Ramsey St. in 1958. In the early 1970’s, the building was renovated and the larger visitation rooms and offices in the rear of the building were added.
In 1946, Charles Warren, nephew to Joe and Flossie Jernigan, purchased a one-third interest in the business, and in 1952, upon the retirement of Joe Jernigan, bought half ownership along with Flossie Jernigan. In 1989, when Mrs. Jernigan passed away, Charles Warren became sole owner of the business. In 1991, Harold Warren, younger brother of Charles, came to work in the family business after retiring from the Cumberland County School System. In 2009, Charles “Ben” Chambers, grandson to Charles and Lucille Warren, began working full time in the Funeral Home, keeping the family tradition going.
In 1963, Jernigan-Warren Funeral Home was invited to join National Selected Morticians (now Selected Independent Funeral Homes).
