When Care Matters More Than Words
There are moments in life when people don’t need solutions—they need support.
For Emma Jones, those moments define her work.
As a funeral director, she steps into people’s lives at their most vulnerable—when loss is fresh, emotions are raw, and decisions feel overwhelming.
And in those moments, what matters most is not process—it is presence.
A Calling Rooted in Purpose
Emma’s journey into the funeral profession was not accidental—it was deeply intentional.
With academic foundations in art and a Master’s in Death and Society, she developed both a
creative and philosophical understanding of life, loss, and remembrance.
Her early experience working with a national funeral company gave her technical expertise. But it also showed her something important:
There was room for a more personal, more human approach.
Building Perry Jones Funeral Services
In 2020, Emma founded Perry Jones Funeral Services with a clear vision:
To create a funeral service that feels personal, compassionate, and truly reflective of each
life being honoured.
As an independent, family-led business, her focus is on:
Listening deeply to families
Creating personalised tributes
Providing consistent, end-to-end care
From traditional funerals to bespoke celebrations of life and pre-planning services, every detail is handled with dignity and respect.
Where Service Becomes Support
What sets Emma apart is not just what she does—but how she does it.
She ensures:
Families are supported from the first call to the final farewell
Every service reflects the individuality of the person being honoured
Communication is clear, calm, and reassuring
Her involvement is deeply personal—she remains present throughout the entire journey, offering continuity and trust during uncertain times.
