Back in July of 2022, not only are we a local funeral directors in Sevenoaks, Kent, but Welham Jones Funerals & Memorials are also business partners with The Sevenoaks and District Chamber of Commerce, and hosted a business networking event at Bluebell Cemetery in Halstead.
During their presentation, we showed the attendees how a funeral was carried out and how a coffin was carried on the shoulders. After which, 4 volunteers from the networking event where then asked to do the same.

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.
As a family-run funeral director operating across the southeast, we know that when you are facing the difficult task of planning a funeral, having a reputable, local funeral director helps to make that task just a little bit easier. We are honoured to have been shortlisted as finalists at the Tonbridge Business Awards 2026. For us, it is always a pleasure to see our hard work formally recognised, but for you and your family in Tonbridge, this award represents the peace of mind needed to know you are in safe hands.
When a loved one passes away, it is your legal duty to notify the government and register the death. However, in such a trying time, the government’s ‘Tell Us Once’ service allows families peace of mind and removes additional administrative stress.
