History
Established in 1998.
Jaynes Memorial Chapel proudly opened its doors in 1998, as the only family-owned funeral home in Duncanville, Texas.
After thirteen years of employment at a corporately owned funeral home in Duncanville, Rick Jaynes along with his wife, Laura, felt the need to open their own funeral chapel, and offer local families another choice of funeral care.
The property next door to Merrywood School was purchased from Mrs. Peggy Ogden, a dear friend. Their agreement was made on a handshake. Then with the support of their loving family, countless friends, and the entire community, groundbreaking and construction of Jaynes Memorial Chapel began in the summer of 1998.
With 8000 square feet of space, a chapel seating over 200, three staterooms and complete preparation facilities, Jaynes Memorial Chapel opened in November 1998 to an overwhelming display of support and confidence from the families of Duncanville, Cedar Hill and Southwest Dallas Counties.
