Our funeral home in Borough Green sits on Western Road, just off the A25 in the centre of the village, easy to find, with parking close by. Beyond the day of the funeral itself, this is also where Borough Green families come for a quiet viewing, a private goodbye, or help planning a memorial for later in the year.
Call us on 01732 780600 any time, day or night, to talk through any of the services below.
“Many thanks to Sharon who helped us in organising my sister’s celebration of life. She was so personable and able to offer up solutions to a number of details we wanted to included to make the day special and to reflect our sister. She kept us updated throughout and I appreciate how accommodating she was to all those who were involved in creating the send off.”
– Sam Baines

Funeral services in Borough Green can include burial, cremation, a traditional ceremony, a simpler unattended funeral or something less formal.
You do not need to decide everything before contacting us.
Our funeral arrangers will ask about the person who has died and what matters to your family. We can then explain which services are suitable, what each option includes and which decisions can wait.
Some families already know the type of funeral they want. Others begin with little more than a name, a few family wishes and a sense that a traditional service would not feel right.
Both are normal starting points.
Welham Jones is an independent, family-run funeral director. Our Borough Green branch serves families in the village and surrounding communities, including Wrotham, Ightham, Shipbourne, Stansted, Meopham, Fawkham Green, St Mary’s Platt and Longfield.
Our Borough Green team can arrange cremations, burials, traditional funerals, direct cremations, graveside services and celebrations of life.
The available choices may include:
The choices available will depend on the venue, timing, cemetery or crematorium rules and any religious or cultural requirements.
We will explain these points before arrangements are confirmed.
At 43 Western Road, our chapel of rest gives Borough Green families a quiet room to sit with someone they’ve lost, for as long as feels right.
What to expect:

Not every family wants one set moment. Some prefer to call in over a few days, and we’ll keep that as flexible as we can.
Ways we can help:
Find out more about our Borough Green viewings and visitations.
For a closer circle, we can arrange a viewing for immediate family only, away from wider visitors or the funeral itself.
This usually includes:

A memorial service brings people together to remember a life, sometimes weeks after a burial or cremation has already taken place quietly.
A memorial service can include:
Getting the details right, readings, music, who speaks and in what order, takes some thought, and we’re glad to work through it with you.
What we help with:
Some families would rather mark a life with colour and stories than a traditional service, and that’s entirely welcome here.

An online memorial gives friends and family who can’t get to Borough Green a place to leave a message, share a photo, or simply mark that they’re thinking of you.
How we help you set one up:
Building a tribute page usually starts with the small things: favourite photos, a few lines about who they were, dates that matter.
Getting a tribute page live:
When someone can’t make the journey to Borough Green on the day, we can arrange for the service to be webcast so they don’t miss it.
Webcasting can help when:
Streaming focuses on the moment itself, a private link that opens exactly as the service begins, using the crematorium or venue’s own streaming system.

Welham Jones can coordinate the practical parts of the funeral once the family has agreed what it wants.
This may include:
Some costs are paid to other organisations. These are often called disbursements or third-party fees.
We will explain the known costs before the funeral is confirmed and tell you where a fee may change
The Borough Green branch supports families across the village and surrounding areas.
These include:
The wider Borough Green community content also identifies places such as New Ash Green, West Malling, Kings Hill, Offham, West Peckham, Snodland and Aylesford within the branch’s broader service area.
Local knowledge can help when planning:

A daytime viewing during our normal opening hours is included as part of arranging a funeral with us. Evening, weekend or bank holiday visits sometimes carry a small extra charge, and we’ll always tell you upfront if that applies.
A memorial service tends to be quieter and more traditional, often with readings and hymns. A celebration of life leans warmer and more personal, favourite music, photographs, stories told freely. Plenty of Borough Green families borrow a bit of both.
Yes. If you’d rather keep a viewing to close family only, let us know and we’ll arrange a time when no one else is booked in.
Most Kent crematoria, including the ones we work with, have their own streaming system built in. We arrange it on your behalf, and you’re sent a private, password-protected link ahead of the day.
Be careful with links shared outside of us or the crematorium directly. A genuine funeral livestream link comes from your funeral director or family, never from a stranger asking for payment. If you’re ever unsure, call us on 01732 780600 and we’ll confirm it’s genuine.
Often, yes. Most crematoria keep a recording available for a limited time afterwards, and we’ll let you know how long before the day.
We point you towards a trusted memorial platform and help you pull the details together, photos, dates, a few lines about your loved one, so it’s ready quickly.
Anyone with the link, unless you’d rather keep it private. Most families are glad for friends and extended family further afield to add their own memories.
There’s no fixed rule. Some families hold one within a few weeks, others wait months until everyone can gather. We’re glad to help whenever you’re ready.
No. These are choices you can make whenever it suits you, before or after the main arrangements are settled. Call 01732 780600 and we’ll talk it through.
