Jones and Son Funeral Home recently was awarded the 2010 Pursuit of Excellence Award by the National Funeral Directors Association during its International Convention & Expo in New Orleans.
Only 166 firms from around the world and two from Mississippi received the recognition.
Pursuit of Excellence Award recipients raise the bar on funeral service excellence by adhering to the highest ethical and professional standards and providing service to families and communities.
To achieve the Pursuit of Excellence Award, NFDA-member funeral homes must evaluate components of their business against standards set forth by the Pursuit of Excellence program and demonstrate proficiency in key areas of the funeral service profession.
Participants are required to fulfill criteria in six categories of achievement that demonstrate commitment to: complying with state and federal regulations; providing ongoing education and professional development opportunities for staff; offering outstanding programs and resources to bereaved families; maintaining an active level of involvement within the community; participating and actively serving in the funeral service profession; and promoting funeral home services through a variety of marketing, advertising and public relations programs.
"Jones and Son Funeral Home's voluntary participation in the Pursuit of Excellence program reflects a clear determination to exceed the expectations of those they serve," said NFDA Chief Executive Officer Christine Pepper.
"For over 70 years, our family and staff have been honored to assist families at their times of great loss by assuring that the service for their loved one is a memorable, caring, and healing time," said Frank H. Jones, president.
The business has locations in Hattiesburg, Richton, Moselle and Beaumont.
