Michael Jenkins
Providing quality service is the primary objective of Legacy Funeral Home. Michael's interest in the funeral business began at an early age. Michael and Willie Aiken are Legacy Funeral Home business partners. Michael is a native of Jasper County, and he was educated in the public schools of Jasper county. He is a graduate of Ridgeland High School. He is married to Brittany, and they have three children. The funeral business has been an interest of Michael's for years. While most people fear death, Michael's first job at the tender age of eight was working as a "flower boy" at Stiney's Funeral Home in Hardeeville, South Carolina. After school daily, he would report to Stiney's Funeral Home to assist with the day to day operation of the funeral home. Michael continued this practice until the tragic death of his father in 2012. At that time, he temporarily gave up his dream of becoming a funeral director. However, Michael believes when you have a calling for a career, "You don't find it; it finds you." The opportunity presented itself in 2016, when he met Willie Aiken who shared the same dream of owning and operating a funeral home as he did. As a result, Legacy Funeral Home was established. Finally, Michael believes honoring the life and legacy of each family that they serve is the greatest tribute that he can render.
