Kenneth Jones
Director and Funeral Director
From way back in 1964 while attending Boy's Foundation School (now called Christ Church Foundation School) I used to assist my father, the late Clyde B. Jones BCH, JP in the family business. To be associated with a Funeral Home caused my colleagues to make fun of me; the graveyard (Christ Church Cemetery) being next to my school's playing field certainly gave them more to talk about. In those days I remember going to funerals and then onto the graveside where the hardware from the casket was removed. Funeral Processions were part of the ceremony of the day, at any given funeral one would see people walking in columns behind the hearse. Back then deceased were referred to as 'duppies' which even now is a scary word to some people. Actually, it was sometimes used as a means of keeping children on the 'straight and narrow', especially if the graveyard was en route to their homes.
Currently, I am a Funeral Director at Clyde B. Jones Funeral Home Co. Ltd. and Manager/ Leader of the Troubadours International. During my music career I was also a session musician with the renowned Merrymen. My long music career occasioned extensive travel on promotional tours of some 14 cities in the USA, Canada—from Buffalo to Miami—and several countries in Europe.
Prior to that, I held various positions; in 1967-1970 as Stock Manager of BICO Ltd, 1970-1971 as Food and Beverage Supervisor of the Tamarind Cove Hotel and in 1986-1988 as Personnel Manager with BEL-TRONICS Ltd.
