I was born September 14, 1948 in Lancaster County a son of Isreal and Lois Furr Hartley, went to the old Springs Elementary School, the old junior high school where the now swimming pool is, and graduated from the old Lancaster Senior High School in 1966. I also attended University of South Carolina, and Gupton - Jones College of Mortuary Science in Atlanta, Ga. Class of 1974. I am a licensed embalmer and Funeral Director and still do most of my work.
I also worked for one of the local funeral homes for many years with a break of 2 years to serve our great country in Vietnam as a member of the 29th Civil Affairs Company attached to the 101st Airborne Division and served as well as i could, and very lucky to be back home.
In 1980 my Wife Joanne and I were very fortunate to buy a funeral home in Calhoun Falls, S.C. a small wonderful rural town in Abbeville County. S.C. having built that location to its full potential we sold it, and it gave us an opportunity to come back home to Lancaster and build a new funeral home at 1800 Charlotte, Highway in Lancaster, having owned and operated that for 17 years and took care of hundreds of wonderful families we decided to sell and retire which is now Burgess Funeral Home.
After retirement I had a 3 year Non-Compete Contract with the new owner, and his bank not to work or be involved in the business for 3 years in Lancaster County of which I honored after that I could do what I wished.
Lancaster and the surrounding communities had been very supportive of me and Joanne, and I really missed the business.
With the previous paragraph being stated, in 2015 I purchased 7 acre’s of land, got tired of retirement, and built a new location at 684 Hubbard Drive in Lancaster. Come by anytime, and hope you are satisfied with our facilities as much as we are. Me, my wife Joanne, my brother Jimmy Hartley, good friends Harold Ward and his wife Donna Ward, Robert Lloyd, Terry Pate, Rev. David Elliott, Danny Gibson (embalmer and funeral director ) and Jane Ballantine our organist make up our staff, Just a good bunch of folks that I hand picked to help take care of you and your family.
Thank you for allowing us to “CARE” for your family with Class, Dignity, Compassion and Attention To Detail that surpasses anyone, and may God Bless all of you.
Jerry Hartley Owner, Embalmer, and Funeral Director.
