Batchelor Brothers Funeral Services Announces Joint Venture with Escamillio D. Jones Funeral Home

PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 13, 2025 — Batchelor Brothers Funeral Services, a dedicated provider of funeral and cremation services in the Philadelphia area for the past decade, is proud to announce its joint venture with The Escamillio D. Jones Funeral Home, a respected local establishment with deep funeral service roots in the Philadelphia community. Effective April 14, 2025, the combined entity will operate as Batchelor Brothers & Jones Funeral Services.

This strategic partnership unites the extensive resources and facilities of Batchelor Brothers with the trusted local legacy of Escamillio D. Jones, a lifelong Philadelphia resident who has served the community with compassion and cultural understanding for over 15 years.

"This alliance represents our commitment to deepening our connection with the Philadelphia community," said Vaughn C. Greene, President of Batchelor Brothers Funeral Services. "By joining forces with Escamillio Jones, we combine our strengths to provide unparalleled service with authentic local understanding."

Escamillio D. Jones, a West Philadelphia native whose passion for funeral service began at age 12, brings a deeply personal commitment to the partnership. "Growing up in Philadelphia—from West Philly to South Philadelphia —this city is in my blood," Jones said. "My calling to funeral service started when my grandmother passed, and she didn't look like herself at the viewing. Even as a child, I believed families deserved better. That inspired me to attend mortuary school and learn the art of embalming—to help families find moments of joy even in grief, with the pride and spirit that makes Philadelphia special."

Jones, who previously operated a successful independent practice serving 500 cases annually, has built his reputation on meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for families.

The newly formed Batchelor Brothers & Jones will exclusively operate from two locations — 7112 North Broad Street and 3215 Garrett Road —  with expanded services, resources, and community programs. The collaboration reinforces both organizations' shared mission of providing dignified, personalized funeral, cremation, and memorial services that honor diverse cultural traditions and celebrate the unique lives of Philadelphia residents.
