About our Chippenham funeral home

We are F. W. Jones & Son 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.

Thank you for entrusting us with the care of another loved one. The continuity of care is something we are proud of and we know what a difference it makes to the families in this time of need.

A huge thank you to Michael Jones and the team for the help and support provided in organising my dads funeral. It was a stressful time, especially with COVID-19 and they went over and above to ensure that it ran smoothly and was a send off my dad would have loved. They were not even phased when I asked if they would be happy driving the funeral cars in a large procession of vehicles and motorbikes! A few weeks later I received a telephone call to check that I was doing okay and if there was any support that the funeral directors could provide. A really nice touch. I would definitely recommend FW Jones to help during a difficult time when losing a loved one.

We would like to thank you all for the care, sensitivity and empathy that was shown to us during a very difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble for you and you made the very sad process as smooth as possible. Our special thanks to Michael for his kindness through out.

We can not thank and praise you enough.

Thank you all so much for the excellent service, again. You handled the funerals for our mother, father and grandmother within the last four years and have never varied from the understanding, gentle guidance, willingness to oblige and attention to detail that made the whole process so much less stressful than it could have been. We remembered we were in safe and competent hands when we saw Michael's, now familiar, face in December to discuss our grandmother's funeral and started to relax a bit.
