After a 2 year break from hosting a Sevenoaks Chamber Event due to COVID, we are back. In true Welham Jones style we joined hands with the new Bluebell Cemetery in Halstead to showcase who we are and what we do. Bluebell opened in June 2019 and we have been using them ever since, so it seemed fitting that we should come together for such an event.
We decided to shake things up a bit and move away from the typical presentation talks, any one fancy a go at the ‘Generation Game!!!’…
The first go was Welham Jones, we showed the audience our attention and level to detail when it comes to carrying out a funeral. We carried a (fake weighted) coffin into the chapel and placed it on the catafalque flawlessly.
Four kind volunteers were then called upon to carry out the same procedure. We gave them a briefing on what to expect and how to carry. With one volunteer saying, ‘OMG it’s so heavy’. Some hiccups along the way but overall, they did really well.
The point to this is what you are wondering?
As a business we strive to give a personal service, we go the extra mile, our attention to detail is second to none and we allow families to have as much or as little involvement in the process as they wish. It is their loved one’s funeral, and it must be done right for them. No funeral is the same, and we want to make sure each family has the celebration of life they would want without any worries.

Horse-drawn hearses are an elegant symbol of tradition at a funeral, but they can require more logistical foresight than a modern hearse. So here’s how to include a horse-drawn hearse in your loved one’s funeral.
As an independent, family run funeral directors helping grieving families pay their final farewells to their loved ones, the actions of Hull funeral director Robert Bush, jailed for 20 years for failing to bury the deceased in his care, does more than fill us with horror. It reignites our belief that our industry needs to be regulated, so that families can have confidence in the funeral directors in whom they place their faith.
When planning a send-off for their loved one, many families like to stick to tradition and opt for a horse-drawn hearse at the funeral. However, in comparison to modern motorised hearses, pricing structures are often less transparent. Here are the answers to the most common questions we receive regarding the pricing structure of booking a horse-drawn cortege.
