History of Powell Funeral Home:

Powell Funeral Home was founded by J.N. Powell in 1895 and was later sold to I.F. Chandler whose daughter Bessie Chandler Clark operated the funeral home until 1948. The funeral home was then sold to D.A. “June” Blue and E. Troy Geer who were brothers in law. After several years of operation together Troy decided to step aside, and June continued to operate Powell Funeral Home. A young man Frank “Jerry” Hardister came to work for June and would later become his successor.

June was very active in the community and respected by all. He served in many facets within the community while grooming Jerry into a confident funeral director. In 1987 June passed away after a hard fought battle with cancer. At that point Jerry assumed the role as owner and president of the company. Jerry used the talents that he had learned from June and continued a strong and loyal business until he retired. In 2008 Tommy Prickett and Robert Nunnaley purchased Powell Funeral Home.

Everyone was always professional and overly concerned. The staff showed compassion and care to all the family members. I really appreciate the attention to detail and the consideration of the staff, everything went exceptionally well.

In a difficult death situation, it is hard to make decisions. Also, if you don’t know the deceases wishes finding a direction to go in can be hard. Randy went above our expectations and we really appreciate all his help. Everyone including the driver at Powell Funeral home did a really great job. They took care of everything, so the family had very little to do, they also added their own special touches to the service.

On Christmas Day my best friend lost his son in an automobile accident. Luis & Maria needed my help to make arrangements. I live out of town. Had never been to this funeral home. Robert took my call on Christmas morning and from that point forward everything was handled professionally, compassionately, and with such respect for the family. I am grateful to every member of the Kennedy team. I would like to mention names...Thank you, Robert, Randy, Daniel "Danny", Beth & Mike. In the order in which I met each. God bless you for the comfort you bring each family you serve. Thank you for the patience and care you showed my friends. We will forever be grateful! It does show when you do what you love.

The loss of our father, Charles 'Tommy' McKenzie, was unexpected and a huge loss for family & friends of Carthage, NC. Robert, Ashlee & all of the staff went above & beyond the call to make this difficult time so much more manageable. It warmed our heart to have an organization that was so professional, compassionate & accommodating as they all were. Our family thanks you for all of these things.

Very compassionate, helpful, just did an outstanding job. Alisha was wonderful the day of my Mother’s funeral. My Mom looked so beautiful. Alisha provided great comfort that day. .Alisha and Ashlee were just phenomenal and sweet even when I was texting then after hours with questions. I am so pleased with both of them. My family has used Fry & Prickett for generations now, and they have done an outstanding job in everything they do. They are so helpful with any questions or concerns you have and just makes this unbearable process so much easier. They have been so compassionate every step of the way. Highly pleased with everything they did. Thank you Fry & Prickett!!
