Jeff Carter Moore, Sr., born May 25, 1883 in Moore County, Tennessee, was the orginal founder of what is known today as Moore-Cortner Funeral Home. Mr. Moore, a pharmacist by profession, was a funeral director for some 60 years before retiring in 1959. About 1905 he established Moore Funeral Home, which later became Moore and Sons Funeral Home.
Mr. Moore's son, Watson Moore, was associated with him for several years and continued to operate the business after Mr. Moore's retirement. Watson Moore operated the funeral home under the name of Moore Funeral Home until his death in 1965. His wife continued to operate the funeral home until May 1966 at which time she sold her interest to Mr. Robert Cortner, who had been associated with the firm since September 1965. At that time, the name was changed to Moore-Cortner Funeral Home. While our competitors have been bought and sold many times,our firm was simply transferred from family to another in our hundred year history.
In the early years when Moore, Sr. operated the funeral home, it had several different locations in Winchester but has been located at 300 First Avenue since Funeral Home a Franklin County tradition for over a hundred years.
