Our Beginnings
Johnston-Arnce-Simpson Morturary
Simpson Funeral Home originated from the Johnston-Arnce-Simpson Morturary. It was originally located at the former C.C. Harris home at 26 South Roane Street in Webb City, Missouri.
After serving his country in the military during W.W. II, and prior employement from the Webb City Undertaking Company, Jack C. Simpson pursued his education in the funeral industry from the St. Louis Mortuary School.
Jack obtained his funeral director and embalmers license in 1947. In June of that same year, Jack purchased the Webb City Undertaking Company along with Clayton Johnston and Harvey Arnce. They formed the Johnston-Arnce-Simpson Mortuary.
In 1949, they relocated their business to its present location at 400 W. Daugherty St. in Webb City, Missouri.
In 1960, Johnston-Arnce-Simpson Mortuary was changed to Johnston-Simpson Mortuary and in 1965, Jack became the sole owner.
In 1974, the business was renamed to Simpson Funeral Home after Jack's son, Hal graduated from Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science.
After serving his apprenticeship under his father, Hal obtained his funeral director/embalmer license in 1975. This began his long term reign in the family business.
In 1982, Jack Simpson purchased the Roney Funeral Service in Carl Junction, Mo. In its original downtown location, a new funeral home was built and renamed
Simpson Funeral Home.
Jack was a funeral director and embalmer for over 50 years unitl his death on October 25, 2000.
In December 2001 Hal and his wife Stefanie purchased the Simpson Funeral Home in Webb City and Carl Junction from Hal's mother, Barbara Simpson.
