Pensacola, Florida – Drive-thru Funeral Home

The Junior Drive-Thru Funeral Home is still there and still appears to be “out of business”. At least for the time being. [Tom, 07/20/2003]

[RA: September 2005: George C. reports Junior’s drive-thru funeral home was sold and converted into a church — the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, with about 40 members. The former morgue has been converted into the church kitchen. February 7, 2005: Dean Jeffrey writes: “I just got an email from my brother about Willie Junior, the former owner of the drive-thru funeral home in Pensacola. Willie disappeared the day before he was to be sentenced on the corruption charges that ultimately led to the closing of the funeral home. A month later, a decomposed body was found under the house of an ex-limo driver for the funeral home, along with a few beer bottles and an empty pill container. The body turned out to be Willie.” Feb. 20, 2005 – Dean updates: “His death was ruled a suicide as a result of drinking antifreeze.”]

Owner Willie Junior was one of four (out of a total of five) Escambia County Commissioners removed from office in 2002 by Gov. Jeb Bush after being arrested and charged with bribery, extortion, racketeering, and money laundering. The funeral home, which had been up for sale, was a casualty of the scandal. Junior has since pleaded no contest to 11 charges and is awaiting sentencing
