Jeffrey Jones Jr.

Owner and Licensed Funeral Director

As of January 2020, Jeffrey Jones Jr, is the new owner of Jones Family Mortuary.

Jeffrey is a 3rd generation funeral director, born and raised in Mooresville, IN. Attending Mooresville schools all the way through, he graduated from Mooresville High School in 1995 before attending Indiana State University for two years and Mid America College of Funeral Service until graduating in 1998.

Although Jeffrey has been involved in the family business since his early childhood, he decided to start his professional career at Jones Family Mortuary in 1998. Serving as one of the managers under his father's direction for over 20 years, he was able to learn what it takes to run a successful family business.

I could say that my father was the best at understanding financial statements, working with families, embalming, etc, which he was, but even more importantly, he is known for his integrity. I think above all things, if you don't have integrity, you will struggle to operate a successful business.

Not only is Jeffrey the owner of Jones Family Mortuary, he is also the face of the business. Jeffrey is involved in the day to day operations of the business, including but not limited to meeting with families, transporting loved ones from their place of death, coordinating funerals, and facility management.

Jeffrey and his better half, Allee Jones, have four beautiful children: Braxton Jones (2017 graduate of Mooresville High School), Brooklyn Jones (2019 graduate of Mooresville High School), Bailey Jones and Boston Jones. Their family dog is an English Bulldog named Butterball.

Jeffrey and his family attend Grace Church here in Mooresville and are always looking for ways to give back to their community.

Getting them through it, providing the utmost care possible and treating everyone like family, is what I value most in my position.”
