      General Info
      Ashelawn Memorial Chapel & Gardens In 1935, Mr. W.L. Sturdivant established the former Reins-Sturdivant Funeral Home in a building in downtown West Jefferson, North Carolina. (At one time, Reins-Sturdivant had funeral homes in West Jefferson, Sparta, Newland, and North Wilkesboro in North Carolina, and in Independence, Virginia.) In 1961, Reins-Sturdivant Funeral Home established Ashelawn Memorial Gardens on U.S. Highway 221 North in Jefferson, North Carolina, leaving vacant a parcel of land adjacent to the cemetery for an eventual funeral home. In 1972, Ashelawn Memorial Chapel was built on that site, creating Northwest North Carolina's only combination funeral home/cemetery operation. In early 1993, the interior of the funeral home, which remained as it was when constructed in 1972, was completely renovated, and the parking lots adjoining the funeral home and the driveways throughout the cemetery, which were surfaced with gravel, were paved with asphalt. In early 1994, construction of the Mausoleum of Prayer, Ashe County‘s only above-ground mausoleum, was begun on the prominent hill overlooking the memorial park. Even before its completion, several of the structure's 240 crypts for caskets and a number of its niches for cremated remains had been sold prior to the time of need. The chapel provides a place for family meditation and shelter for committal services during inclement weather. In 2004 Ashelawn Memorial Chapel and Gardens became a member of Ashe County Funeral Services, LLC. As a funeral home and cemetery combination, the Ashelawn staff is able to assist grieving families with all funeral home, cemetery, cremation, and monument needs at one convenient location. Badger Funeral Home in West Jefferson, North Carolina has served Ashe County since 1854. The firm is the oldest on-going business in Ashe County and the 16th oldest funeral home in the state of North Carolina. Badger Funeral Home evolved from the cabinet and casket building skills of William Badger, a veteran of the Confederate Army in the Civil War who migrated to Ashe County from Petersburg, Virginia, before the war. For many years, the funeral home operated out of the second floor of what is now the Dollar Tire building in West Jefferson. In addition to conducting funeral services, the staff of the funeral home also handled the ambulance service for Ashe County. The funeral home has been at its present location since the 1930's in a building formerly used as a residence and as a boarding house for a nearby school. The building was extensively renovated in 1988 with the addition of a new chapel and the total restructuring and redecorating of the main floor and upper floor. In 2004, Badger Funeral Home became a part of Ashe County Funeral Services, LLC. The Badger Funeral Home staff has assisted Ashe County families for generations with dignity and compassion.
