BELLINGHAM, Wash. — The longest-running funeral home in Whatcom County has a new owner with plans to move to a more modern Bellingham facility.

Licensed funeral director Jake Waggoner is now the owner of Jerns Funeral Home — formerly Jerns Funeral Chapel — founded in 1887.

On June 1st, Waggoner is moving the facility from its longtime location on Sunset Drive to a location near the intersection of Bakerview and Hannegan Roads.

“Most Whatcom County families will find our new location easier to reach and in keeping with our philosophy of being professional and comforting,” Waggoner said.
