Robert Jones, the owner and head Funeral Director, and has over 25 years in the death care profession, working for corporations and independent funeral home owners. Mr Jones became increasingly frustrated with the manner in which families were being treated. More and more the owners were focusing on profit and less and less on the family’s needs or what the families wanted for their love ones.
For example, families were being told that you had to embalm if you had a public viewing. If you didn’t embalm then you had to purchase a casket that seals which cost more in order to have a receiving of friends or funeral service which is not true. This was in addition to the ever increasing cost of services, which in most cases were marked up 500-700% making the average funeral cost anywhere from $9,900 to $13,000 or more. This troubled Mr. Jones greatly, and after expressing these concerns with no results, Mr Jones realized that the only way to change what was happening was to open up his own mortuary and provide families with affordable funeral and cremation services and focus on there needs and not his pocket book.
Mr Jones began speaking with families and learned that, in fact, 70% of most families suffering a loss felt they had been taken advantage of or were misled about the laws and requirements. After much prayer, fasting, and council Mr Jones, his wife Kathy, and their children bought a historical building in the heart of downtown Clinton.
After extensive restoration and remodeling, Jones Mortuary LLC opened in March of 2004. With a focus on putting families first, Jones Mortuary LLC is known as a mortuary that is both professional and affordable. Our goal is that families are never charged more for funeral services or cremation services than they should pay or they can afford.
Additionally, the entire staff has had extensive training and has been educated in dealing with different religions, beliefs, nationalities, and races. Every family is respected and given the freedom they deserve to take care of their loved one as they wish.
Mr Jones has made it a point to see that the public is informed with correct information and he is available for speaking engagements on subjects such as “What Most Funeral Homes Don’t Want you To Know”, “How Much Does A Funeral Really Cost”, “Is It The Law or is it Their Law”, “Celebration Of Life — it Does Matter”, “Working With Pastors from the Funeral Director Perspective” and others.
