Born and raised in Milledgeville, James graduated from Baldwin High School in 1978.

After seventeen years, life brought James back to Milledgeville, GA, where he seized the opportunity to pursue his passion for funeral services. He began his apprenticeship under the guidance of the late Mrs. Geneva Ball Davis and received further encouragement from the Griffin Family of Slater’s Funeral Home, Inc., who supported him in reaching his career goals.

In 2014, James earned an Associate of Science Degree from Gupton-Jones College of Funeral Service and became a proud member of the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice. Throughout his career, James has exemplified the highest standards required in the profession, with meticulous attention to detail that brings comfort to grieving families. His compassion and dedication provide peace of mind to those he serves.

James Howard Jones lives by the motto, "If I can help somebody as I travel along the way, then my living will not be in vain," a principle that guides his work and life.
