James McMullen

In Loving Memory 1940 to 2015

James McMullen started working in Columbus as a young man in his father’s business, McMullen Garage and Service Station, located on Andrews Road in Columbus, GA. He attended Rosemont Elementary and was a 1958 Graduate of Jordan High School. After serving in the U.S. Army, James returned to Columbus and started his 50 year carrier in funeral service. In 1987, he and his son Allen, along with their family, opened McMullen Mortuary in downtown Columbus. With the McMullen’s commitment to compassionate funeral care, the firm eventually outgrew its original building. In 1997, the family designed and built a new funeral home at the current location on 3874 Gentian Boulevard. Following James’s death in 2015, McMullen Funeral Home and Crematory continues to offer compassionate care and memorable tributes to the families of the Chattahoochee Valley.

McMullen Funeral Home and Crematory is proud to be family-owned and has a rich history of knowledgeable service behind it.

Employing the highest ethical industry standards, the staff at McMullen’s can ensure a memorable, life-affirming tribute to your loved one.
