Wow, 30 years old…time certainly flies…
Welham Jones Funerals Directors opened on 2nd September 1992. Our flagship branch is the notoriously iconic local “French’s Dairy” building at the bottom of St Botolph’s Road.Over these years we have seen many changes, we have expanded, growing from one funeral home to now seven, covering a wide area in NW Kent and SE London.
Some 30 years later, we remain an independent and family-owned company, something I for one am immensely proud of and long hope to be a part of. Today Welham Jones is run by father and daughter team, Simon & Rebecca Welham.
What will happen in the next 30 years I wonder…I guess there is only one way to find out, follow our journey and we will guide you through it all…

In the past, planning a respectful outfit for a funeral was simple enough: all black. But as a funeral directors with over 30 years’ experience in the industry, we have witnessed the changing funeral attire firsthand. Here’s what to wear to a funeral in 2026…
Planning a funeral can be a difficult job, but it is often one that benefits from a clear vision and a conversation between one or two people and a funeral director. But what happens if that person hasn’t been named in the will? Knowing who has the legal standing to make these arrangements is vital to ensure your loved one receives the send-off they deserve without unnecessary family conflict.
