Dickey Brothers-Chamber Brothers

Our History

Dickey Brothers Memorial Funeral Home was established by Mr. Marvin M. Dickey, Sr., on December 19, 1959. The funeral home began its humble beginnings when Mr. Dickey entered into partnership with Mr. C. R. Brown of Picayune, MS, originally located on Division Street. Initially, the partnership was under the name Brown S. Mortuary, but after the partnership dissolved, Mr. Dickey founded Dickey Brothers Funeral Home. Competing in the funeral business was very challenging during the early 1960's. Special thanks are extended to Mr. Jerry O'Keefe, Sr., who provided Mr. Dickey advice to invest and contract with burial insurance policies with the State Department of Insurance. Mr. Dickey obtained the necessary permits and license to write and sell burial policies, which became a success to those families along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Stone, and Greene Counties. With the increase demands for additional funeral services in Wiggins-Stone County, Mr. Kernevis C. Chambers entered into a partnership with Mr. Dickey, leading to a name change to Dickey Brothers-Chambers Brothers Funeral Home. In July 2003, Mr. Marvin Dickey passed away. Dickey Brothers Chambers Brothers experienced a tremendous setback. With the passing of Mr. Dickey, Dickey Brothers merged with Rev. Eddie Hartwell, which partnership ended in 2005 during the rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina. Today, after 60 years in business, the legacy and the spirit of Mr. Marvin Dickey, Sr., still exist to help those families cope with the most grief-stricken bereavement they will undergo. Ms. Pamela Dickey, the eldest daughter and President of the reestablished business of Dickey Brothers Memorial Funeral Home, continues to serve, helping families receive the most ethical, dedicated, and professional service afforded to them.
