The motor industry, as we know, is in turmoil with chip shortages, supply shortages, electrification. You know, the electric cars and vehicles don’t have the payload. They don’t have the range. So the cars that you see on the road today for funeral vehicles are not going to be there. And no one really knows where it’s going to go. It’s crystal ball time.
So it’s everything’s is in transition. So, I’m not saying yesterday was better or tomorrow is going to be worse. I’m just saying we don’t know where it’s going to go. And I think we’re all in in the same boat in many ways. So what the next 30 years holds? No idea.

The most popular – and most surprising – funeral songs we’ve heard
by Simon Welham
As a funeral director serving communities across West Kent and South East London, I’ve witnessed firsthand how music can profoundly shape a farewell. Whether you’re arranging a funeral in Sevenoaks, considering a pre-paid funeral plan in Tonbridge, or simply exploring options in Chislehurst and Bromley, understanding the role of music can be invaluable.
Today, cremation is the most popular choice when it comes to funerals in the UK. As funeral directors operating across West Kent and South East London, Welham Jones Funeral Directors see first hand how it outranks burial even more sharply in this crowded corner of the country where land is at a premium. Yet, surprisingly, just under a 150 years ago, the practice was still illegal. Why was that, and what changed for it to overtake traditional burials?
Choosing a funeral director is an important decision. Organising a funeral for a loved one – or planning your own funeral – is a key milestone event in your life. But how can you tell whether the funeral directors you are considering will treat you with professionalism, respect and empathy, that they will treat your loved one with dignity, and that they will deliver on the day? Our guide will help you make the right choice.
