I cannot thank the wonderful people at Ellis D. Jones Funeral Home enough. We had to make special arrangements to get my mother-in-law from Utah to North Carolina for burial. They worked tirelessly with the funeral home in Utah and were so kind and gracious when we arrived to make the final preparations. They thought ahead and made a place for our graveside service that was accessible for all her friends who would have had trouble getting to the graveside otherwise. They did such a great job and focused on all the details so we could focus on our family and friends who came to honor mom. I would recommend them without reservation. We were treated like members of their familysomething that has gotten away from many funeral homes today.
We could not have asked for better care and service. The professionalism was exceptional and the compassion demonstrated went above and beyond. I highly recommend Ellis D. Jones during your time of need.
Ellis Jones Funeral Home was amazing. Everyone was so kind and caring during a very sad time in my life. Nothing was too small or big. I had the pleasure of working with Calvin and Nina, they guided me in every step, never rushing me. We bombarded them with pictures for a video., They never said it was too many. We were treated like family. I recommend Ellis Jones Funeral Service for your funeral needs. - Pat B
