Oakley-Cook Funeral Home and Crematory, 2223 Volunteer Pkwy, Bristol, TN 37620, US

HistoryBadger Funeral Home in West Jefferson, North Carolina has served Ashe County since 1854. The firm is the oldest on-going business in Ashe County and the 16th oldest funeral home in the state of North Carolina. Badger Funeral Home evolved from the cabinet and casket building skills of William Badger, a veteran of the Confederate Army in the Civil War who migrated to Ashe County from Petersburg, Virginia, before the war. For many years, the funeral home operated out of the second floor of what is now the Dollar Tire building in West Jefferson. In addition to conducting funeral services, the staff of the funeral home also handled the ambulance service for Ashe County. The funeral home has been at its present location since the 1930's in a building formerly used as a residence and as a boarding house for a nearby school. The building was extensively renovated in 1988 with the addition of a new chapel and the total restructuring and redecorating of the main floor and upper floor.
