About Jones Mortuary Inc

Jones Mortuary Inc is an independently owned funeral home serving the Palo Alto area, which means families work directly with local ownership rather than a regional or national corporate network. They offer full-service arrangements, giving families options across a range of needs including cremation and traditional burial. Pricing starts at $1,275 for direct cremation and $1,095 for traditional burial, which is notably low for the Bay Area market and may appeal to families managing costs during a difficult time. With a 3.7-star rating across 20 Google reviews, the feedback reflects a mixed but cautiously positive picture — the relatively small number of reviews makes it harder to identify consistent patterns, so families may want to speak directly with the funeral home and ask for references before making a decision.

Visited during open hours for pre-need service for terminally ill family member. There is no receptionist. I received cards to call back, personally spoke to woman who told me person would be contacting me. It’s been weeks and no call. They need to do better for grieving people.

On Friday September 30, 2022, Jones Mortuary provided a poor model of customer service, for my sister-in-law for her homegoing. Even though it may have been accepted by others, Jones should have advised to have a close casket. The presentation of the body was very poorly done. It looked nothing lik…

The best Mortuary in the Palo Alto. Super friendly staff. Reasonable Prices. It was big enough to our needs for my older brother's funeral. Had no problem with anything. Highly Recommend.
