For over 50 years, people in the Brazos Valley have shown their confidence in Callaway-Jones, and know they will always be served by thoughtful, compassionate and trustworthy professionals. A dedicated support staff is led by Cody D. Jones, 5th generation funeral director and his mother, Lorene A. Jones. They remain dedicated to their mission as a family-owned firm; to offer care and compassion to each person they serve, understanding the different needs of each one.
For a number of years, the family was known as the largest family of funeral directors in the state, having eight licensed and practicing members at one time. The last funeral home the group established opened in late 1952 in Bryan; a ribbon cutting ceremony was conducted in 1953. Selected location for the business is on South College Avenue , a major artery running between Bryan and College Station, Texas. Realizing a real need by the community for efficient, prompt ambulance service, the new business answered the call. They furnished up-to-date ambulances operated by trained personnel, and continued to do so until the population increased greatly and government service was warranted. Many citizens still thank the family for life-saving experiences.
Our family wishes to pay tribute to the memories of two of their own, third-generation funeral director Raymond Callaway Jones, and fourth-generation funeral director Michael David “Mike” Jones. They both received sincere and abundant joy from knowing people. They loved their profession because they believed it gave them the opportunity to help others. They both loved their family and friends, and everyone was their friend. It is their spirit that inspires and leads everyone at Callaway-Jones Funeral Home & Crematory.
CALLAWAY-JONES CREMATORY Considering Cremation? Consider this... Since 1987, we have owned and operated our own crematory. This is very important as we like our families to know that their loved one never leaves our care because we do not outsource our cremations. While many funeral homes offer cremation services, they are forced to outsource the cremation because they do not own or operate their own crematory.
What many people in our community don't know, is that we are the ONLY funeral home in Brazos County that OWNS & OPERATES it's own crematory. This means other local funeral homes must use Callaway-Jones Crematory, or they even take your loved one out of town and drop them off to someone whom you've never even met. For this reason they must charge a crematory fee to cover their costs of outsourcing the cremation. At Callaway-Jones Funeral Home, you will never have to pay these extra fees because we use our own crematory to perform all our cremations.
Choosing your local crematory means that you will NEVER have to wonder who is handling your loved one. We are Bryan-College Station's only local crematory.
Having FIVE Certified Crematory Operators on staff helps to offer our families peace of mind in knowing that all our cremations are performed with the highest ethical standards and respect.
**UPDATE** We have recently partnered with The Brazos Valley Cremation Society. This partnership was designed to bring an even more affordable cremation solution to the Brazos Valley area.
