Our History
Discover how we’ve helped families in our community to honor the memory of their loved ones.
Service To Others...
In March of 1950, Clyde and Shirley Jones founded Jones Funeral Home. Clyde and Shirley began their husband and wife “service to others” when they both earned their funeral director’s license. Clyde also earned his embalmer’s license. At that time, Shirley was one of only a few female funeral directors who worked in this profession. By obtaining her license, Shirley made a statement as to the importance of females in the funeral service. Her vision was to attract more women in every aspect of funeral service. The Jones-Wynn family firmly believes that the female touch is unique and valuable. This belief has been carried on by future generations. In 1970, Charles Wynn married Dana Jones, the only daughter of Clyde and Shirley, to become the second generation in the business and now Ellen Wynn McBrayer is the third generation to work in the family business.
Carrying On One Tradition...
The funeral home remains today at its original location at the intersection of Westview Drive and Spring Street in Villa Rica, Georgia. The location is the same, but in 1983, the funeral home name was changed from Jones Funeral Home to the present name of Jones-Wynn Funeral Home. The Jones-Wynn Funeral Home Family opened a second location in nearby Douglasville in the fall of 1999. The two locations have given them the ability to better serve the West Georgia area. The tradition of the Jones-Wynn Funeral Home Family continues into the future with over 67 years of dedicated service. Dana Jones Wynn, the second generation funeral service professional from the family, states, “The most important thing to remember is to keep our funeral home synonymous with its name and reputation of serving and caring for families. We are three generations carrying on one tradition.”
