Pierce-Jefferson Funeral Services

Our Information

Downtown Kernersville's Historic Funeral Home

Pierce-Jefferson Funeral Services is a funeral home with an on-site crematory located in the heart of downtown Kernersville, North Carolina. It is part of Pierce-Jefferson Funeral Services, a family of funeral home locations serving the Piedmont Triad. Services include burial, cremation, funeral and memorial services, pre-need planning, veterans services including military honors, and certified celebrant arrangements. Memorial diamonds are available through a partner provider.


The Kernersville location occupies a historically significant structure on West Mountain Street, known historically as Plunket Place, with construction completed between between 1840 and 1848. Built as Kernersville's first schoolhouse — a modest two-room educational building serving the town's children — the structure is among the oldest surviving non-residential buildings in the city and carries a local historic designation. The building presents a Greek Revival/Colonial Revival hybrid architectural style featuring a symmetrical facade, large multi-pane windows, and a covered front portico. The property has housed a funeral home since 1930. After a period of vacancy beginning in 1990, Jack Pierce and Danny Jefferson acquired the building in 2004 and established Pierce-Jefferson Funeral Services, following an extensive structural restoration that preserved the historic exterior while modernizing the interior with contemporary gathering spaces, technology-integrated event areas, and a formal reception parlor.


The facility includes a large chapel, reception and event space, an on-site crematory, and accommodations for identification viewings, private viewings, and overnight visitations.


Pierce-Jefferson Funeral Services in Kernersville does not operate an on-site cemetery, offer pet cremation, provide licensed grief therapy, or offer legal or estate planning services.


Families in reviews frequently identify individual staff members by name and describe services as organized, attentive to detail, and elegantly executed.
