Why “Jolley Funeral Home” can be confusing
The official brand is Howell & Jolley Memorial Chapel, P.A. Funeral & Cremation Services, while older or shorter searches may say Jolley Funeral Home, Jolley Memorial Chapel, or Jolley obituaries.
Match the domain, city, phone and memorial page before sending flowers, signing a guestbook, or sharing directions.
Before sending flowers, payment or private family details
- Check that the official domain is jolleymemorialchapelmd.com.
- Confirm the Salisbury chapel address when the event is at the chapel: 1213 Jersey Road, Salisbury, MD 21801.
- Confirm the phone number: 410-749-6461.
- Open the individual memorial instead of relying only on a search-result snippet.
- Use the church, cemetery or veterans cemetery address when the memorial names a location outside the funeral home.

Understand the memorial
What a Howell & Jolley Memorial Page Can Include
Service-day routing
Before Driving: Chapel, Church, Cemetery or Veterans Cemetery?
Howell & Jolley memorial pages show why one address is not enough. A public viewing can be at the Salisbury chapel, a funeral service can be at a church or chapel, and the interment can be at a separate cemetery.
Official memorial examples show why address-checking matters
Verified location

Funeral pricing
How to Get Current Jolley Funeral Home Prices Without Guessing
A current itemized General Price List was not visible in the public pages reviewed for this guide, so this page does not invent burial, cremation, chapel, casket, cemetery or transfer charges. Ask Howell & Jolley directly for current itemized pricing.
| Ask about | Useful question | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| General Price List | “Can you provide your current General Price List and explain which items apply to our situation?” | The GPL is the central price document for funeral goods and services. |
| Basic services fee | “What is your current basic services fee?” | This is commonly separate from facilities, staff, merchandise and outside costs. |
| Transfer into care | “What is the transfer charge, and what distance or after-hours terms apply?” | Place of death, distance and release timing can affect the total bill. |
| Viewing / service | “What are the charges for viewing, chapel service, church service, staff, hearse and graveside service?” | Viewing, funeral service and interment can be separate line items. |
| Cremation | “What cremation options are available, and what is included in each option?” | Direct cremation, viewing and memorial service are different choices. |
| Outside costs | “Which cemetery, church, clergy, newspaper, permit, death-certificate or third-party charges are separate?” | Outside costs may not be funeral-home charges. |
Death certificates
Wicomico County and Maryland Death Certificate Route
An obituary is not a certified death certificate. For a Maryland death, use Maryland Vital Records or the correct local health department route. Wicomico County Health Department provides local vital-record instructions for death certificates.
-
1
Confirm where the death occurred
Use Maryland and Wicomico County routes only when the death record is registered in Maryland and the local office can issue the copy.
-
2
Ask Howell & Jolley what has already been filed
Confirm whether the funeral home has submitted registration details and whether initial certified copies were ordered.
-
3
Use the official Wicomico death-certificate page
Open Wicomico County Birth & Death Certificates and review current appointments, ID, eligibility and fee details.
-
4
Prepare ID and eligibility proof
Recent certified death certificates generally require proper identification and qualifying relationship or legal authority.
-
5
Order enough certified copies
Banks, insurance, property, probate, retirement accounts and benefits may require certified copies, but not every organization needs an original.
Estate / probate
Wicomico County Probate After a Jolley Obituary
An obituary does not open probate. For Wicomico County estates, the Register of Wills is the key local office for probate filings and estate administration procedure.
Wicomico County Register of Wills
Wicomico County Courthouse
101 North Division Street, Room 102
Salisbury, MD 21801
Phone: 410-543-6635
Before calling about an estate
- Have the deceased person’s legal name and date of death.
- Know whether there is an original will.
- Identify the decedent’s last legal residence.
- List titled property, accounts, debts and likely heirs.
- Ask procedure questions; use a Maryland attorney for legal advice.
Veteran families
Eastern Shore Veteran Burial and Memorial Resources
Some Howell & Jolley memorials list Veteran-related services or interment at Eastern Shore Veterans Cemetery. Veteran families may need both Maryland state cemetery resources and federal VA burial benefits.
-
1
Tell Howell & Jolley about Veteran status early
Military honors and cemetery scheduling may require documentation and coordination.
-
2
Locate service records
Find DD-214 or other discharge records when available.
-
3
Check Eastern Shore cemetery instructions
Use Maryland veterans cemetery resources for eligibility, location and scheduling details.
-
4
Use VA.gov for federal benefits
Review burial allowance, national cemetery, marker, flag and memorial-certificate rules directly through VA.
Social Security
Death Reporting and Survivor Benefits
Social Security says funeral homes commonly report deaths to SSA. Families should give the funeral director the deceased person’s Social Security number when the funeral home is making the report. Survivor benefits, when available, are a separate SSA process and are not created automatically by an obituary.
