Jones Funeral Home

Jones Funeral Home, located at 1101 Main Street in Franklin, Louisiana, has been a pillar of compassionate care in St. Mary Parish and the surrounding Bayou region since its founding in 1977. Originally established as Buckner-Jones Funeral Home by the families of Janis and Jessie Jones Jr. and Mildred and Hilliard Buckner, the business was created to address a growing need for an additional funeral provider in the area. Over the years, the Jones family acquired full ownership in 1986, renaming the firm Jones Funeral Home. Under their dedicated leadership, the funeral home expanded to serve multiple communities, opening locations in Morgan City (1979), Jeanerette (2010), and Houma (2013). In 2023, Jones Funeral Home became part of the Dignity Memorial network, a family of funeral homes, crematories, and cemeteries that upholds the highest standards of service while preserving the local, family-oriented traditions that have always defined the business.

Jones Funeral Home offers a full range of services tailored to honor each life uniquely. Families can choose from traditional funeral services, cremation options, memorial ceremonies, and graveside services. The professional staff works closely with families to arrange every detail—from coordinating with clergy and cemeteries to handling all necessary paperwork. The Franklin location features a 2,000-square-foot chapel that can accommodate large gatherings, ensuring that services are held in a dignified and welcoming space. Jones Funeral Home also serves families from nearby communities including Jeanerette, Loreauville, Morgan City, New Iberia, Patterson, and Pierre Part.

Beyond immediate-need arrangements, Jones Funeral Home emphasizes the importance of pre-planning. By documenting final wishes in advance, individuals can lock in current pricing, relieve their loved ones of emotional and financial burdens, and ensure that their life is celebrated exactly as they envision. The home offers flexible payment plans and provides relocation protection for prepaid plans that transfer to any qualifying Dignity Memorial provider more than 75 miles away. The staff is available for in-person or virtual consultations, providing knowledgeable and compassionate guidance every step of the way.

Accessibility and convenience are prioritized at Jones Funeral Home. The facility is wheelchair accessible throughout, including the entrance, parking lot, and restrooms. Onsite parking and free parking are available. The funeral home operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM, with availability for after-hours needs. Jones Funeral Home can be reached by phone at (337) 828-1981. Whether families are facing an unexpected loss or planning ahead, Jones Funeral Home continues to honor its legacy of service excellence, blending traditional values with contemporary care to support the community through life’s most difficult moments.
