About Us
We are F W Jones Funeral Directors in Chippenham, and are here to help make a difficult time a little easier for you and your family. We love the community we serve and have a wealth of local knowledge, as well as many decades of funeral expertise passed down over the generations.
Our founder, Frederick William Jones, was born in 1904 in the village of Studley. He began working life as a cabinetmaker, and loved football as a keen supporter of Chippenham Town FC.
His skill set equipped him to do a funeral undertaking apprenticeship at E Wootten & Son, before he decided to start his own caring and professional funeral services. It was not long before he became a popular and valued part of the community.
Three generations later, the Jones family are still part of our funeral directors today. We have a warm and welcoming funeral home with large windows and beautiful paintings of 'old Chippenham'. We have an impeccable Coleman Milne Mercedes fleet, which you can use for your loved one's funeral service if you wish.
We have strong ties with the community we love; we are located close to West Wiltshire Crematorium, St. Paul's Church and St. Andrew's Church, where we hold a Christmas memorial service every year with around 300 people attending in memory of their loved ones.
We are here for you, no matter what, and you can call us 24 hours a day. Please get in touch as soon as you need advice or assistance.Our Simple funeral is available for £1,995 + third party costs, without compromising on the quality of the service that is delivered. Or our Full Service funeral can be tailored just how you wish, whether that be a traditional ceremony or a colourful celebration of life.

- Rating 5.01 November 2018From the moment we contacted F W Jones we have had the most amazing care. We were treated with kindness and consideration and gently taken through all that needed to be done. Tiny details were remembered and acted on. It was lovely to deal with people who had known my mother, it made it very personal. This is the advantage of having a family firm in the town. F W Jones also managed my father's funeral nine years ago with equal courtesy and kindness.

- Rating 5.022 August 2018We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful service when arranging and carrying out our Mum's funeral.
We didn't really know much about what to organise and you were very helpful with all your advice and suggestions including the celebrant.
We asked for a few changes and enhancements to the draft order-of-service and the finished product was perfect.
Everyone was very professional whilst at the same time there was a feeling of caring about both the deceased and those remaining.
We will not hesitate to recommend you in the future should someone need your service in the future.
