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.

At the initial meeting with the family, the arrangements were outlined in full with our ideas and suggestions for the service and the day itself being taken into account where practical.
We were treated at all times with understanding, care, and patience and with both dignity and quiet, unobtrusive efficiency on the day of the funeral. All of which made for a day to be remembered for all the right reasons and for that we are very grateful.

This is the first time I have had to deal with a funeral directors, and I have to say they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
They dealt with every detail of my brothers funeral, right down to finding us a fishing reef, to letting us carry in the coffin at the last minute.
Our one aim was to give my brother a good send off and with their help we achieve it.
So a massive thank you to everyone at
F.W . Jones & Son Funeral Directors. 🙏🙏

We know how special each person is and aim to convey this in all aspects of our work from the arrangements to the day of the service.

I felt they advised me of all my options in the very unexpected death of my husband. They took their time and allowed me and my daughter time to decide what funeral we required. The respect and kind words made us feel at ease, and the funeral was beautifully organised on what was a very emotional day.

The team will be very pleased to hear that their care and support made a difference to your family.

Excellent service. Could not fault in any way. As a local all my life, both sides of my family have used F W Jones on numerous occasions over many years. Would not even think of going anywhere else. Michael and his team are second to none. My Uncle Bob's funeral on 31st March 2021 went very smoothly, as we knew it would with Michael and his team on hand. When we met Michael to make arrangements before hand, we were expecting the horrible task of choosing a coffin etc, which can be very difficult & upsetting but Michael had all the details of my Aunties funeral 12 years before and said "would you like the same as Auntie Dot". What a weight off our shoulders, Uncle Bob had chosen all this for my Auntie and so we knew that was what he liked! The whole process from beginning to end was so easy and stress free, every little detail was taken care of, we just said what we and Uncle Bob wanted, sat back and it was sorted.
Thankyou to everyone at F W Jones & Sons for making such a difficult time so much easier and worry free. Excellent, professional service in every way.

A couple of initial problems my mums name was Berly , it was spelt as Beryl on a couple of occasions, but
Was corrected. And after being told the number that could attend the funeral was 30 we were then informed
Only 26 could attend which meant having to tell 4 people that they could not attend the service.
The service was carried to our satisfaction and we felt that we and F.W.Jones in the end gave my mother a fitting funeral.

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.
Response from F. W. Jones & Son Funeral Directors

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.
