Corey-Kerlin Funeral Homes & Crematory

Corey-Kerlin Funeral Homes & Crematory, located at 940 Cesery Boulevard in Jacksonville, Florida, has been a trusted provider of funeral and cremation services since its founding in 1963 by George S. Corey Jr. and William W. Kerlin. Originally opened at 1426 Rowe Avenue, the business expanded to its current Cesery Boulevard location in 1973 and added a crematory in 1983. After the founders retired, the funeral home was entrusted to four long-time funeral directors. In 2023, the Rowe Avenue location closed, and in 2024, the Cesery Boulevard location joined the Dignity Memorial network, ensuring continued excellence and personalized care. As a full-service funeral home, Corey-Kerlin offers traditional funerals, celebrations of life, and cremation services. The facility features a large chapel, ample free parking, and is wheelchair accessible. Services include burial and cremation, onsite chapel, floral arrangements, and prepayment plans. The team specializes in personalized memorials, tailoring every detail—from decor and music to catering—to reflect the unique life of the loved one. For cremation, the home guarantees custody of care with a pendant identification program, exclusive custody until return to family, and licensed, CANA-certified crematory operators who follow strict single-cremation protocols. The funeral home also honors veterans with dedicated funeral, cremation, and burial services. Corey-Kerlin provides grief support through a 24/7 compassion helpline and an online grief library. Preplanning services are available with in-person or virtual consultations, offering up to 10% off prepaid plans. As part of Dignity Memorial, the home offers a 100% service guarantee, lifetime flexibility on prepaid plans, and relocation protection. The team is available 24/7 and welcomes families to visit during business hours. With a 4.8-star rating on Google and a reputation for compassionate, professional care, Corey-Kerlin Funeral Homes & Crematory continues to serve the Jacksonville communities of Atlantic Beach, Fruit Cove, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Orange Park, and Ponte Vedra Beach.
