Dante Jelks Funeral Home opened on April 19, 2013, when founder Dante' L. Jelks realized his lifelong dream of business ownership. The funeral home now operates two locations serving Birmingham and Gadsden communities. Jelks developed his expertise through formal education at Stillman College, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, followed by funeral director and embalming certifications from Jefferson State Community College.
