Jackson Mortuary

Jackson Mortuary Inc. traces its roots to 1926, making it one of Wichita's longest-operating funeral establishments. Located at 1125 E 13th St N, the mortuary has remained under continuous family ownership for five generations, with each generation maintaining Kansas licensure as funeral directors and embalmers. The business identifies as a proud African American-owned establishment, serving as a pillar of the Wichita community for over 95 years.

The mortuary blends its historic foundation with contemporary service offerings, providing traditional funerals, memorial services, and personalized celebrations of life. Their operational model emphasizes appointment-based service planning, with specific protocols limiting service planning appointments to four immediate family members—a measure reflecting their focus on intimate, personalized attention during arrangement conferences.

Jackson Mortuary maintains active community engagement through its grief support resources and pre-need planning programs, positioning itself as a resource beyond immediate funeral needs.
