Jones, Rich & Barnes Funeral Home stands as Portland's longest-operating funeral establishment, with origins dating to 1838 when Samuel Snow Rich founded SS Rich and Son Funeral Home. The business relocated to its current Woodford Street location in 1959, where a purpose-built facility replaced earlier Pearl Street, Exchange Street, and Mellen Street addresses. Today it operates as part of the Dignity Memorial network, maintaining local leadership through Vice Presidents David Jones and Robert Barnes.
