Families throughout Chislehurst and the broader London Borough of Bromley have trusted local services for generations. This is a heritage we understand deeply.
Chislehurst sits just 10 miles south-east of Charing Cross, nestled within the London Borough of Bromley. The name itself comes from Saxon words meaning “stony wood,” a fitting description for this area that has maintained its village character for over a thousand years. From medieval times it was a royal manor, held by the distinguished Walsingham family, and later became home to exiled French Emperor Napoleon III at Camden Place.
Bromley’s history stretches back even further, first recorded in 862 as “Bromleag,” meaning the woodland clearing where broom grows. Originally part of Kent, it became a chartered market town in 1158 and developed into one of the region’s most important coaching stops. The arrival of the railway in 1858 transformed both communities, bringing London families who sought the perfect balance of countryside tranquillity with city access.
Today, these communities blend historic charm with modern life. Chislehurst maintains its village atmosphere, protected by an almost complete ring of green space, while Bromley serves as one of Greater London’s 13 metropolitan centres. Both areas share a deep sense of community, the very foundation that has shaped our approach to caring for local families during their most important moments.
When families in our community need us most, we’re here. That promise has shaped everything we do since 1992.
Welham Jones operates as an independent, family-owned business spanning three generations. Our Chislehurst branch on Belmont Parade serves both Chislehurst and Bromley communities, offering the local knowledge that only comes from truly understanding the area where you live and work.
We provide everything from traditional burials and cremations to international repatriation services. Each service reflects the person being remembered. Our team works with you to understand who your loved one was, ensuring their funeral celebrates their life properly.
We’re available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for community deaths. Sharon Cunningham leads our Chislehurst team, supported by experienced staff who understand local customs and traditions. Families consistently praise our team’s compassion and attention to detail.
Planning ahead lifts the burden from your family during difficult times. Our pre-paid funeral plans lock in today’s prices and guarantee your wishes will be respected. This thoughtful approach gives peace of mind to both you and your loved ones.
We handle everything from headstones and memorial tablets to floral arrangements that truly reflect your loved one’s personality. Each memorial becomes a lasting tribute to a life well-lived.
Our family name is on the business, we never compromise our standards. We combine the resources of a larger company with the personal service of a family business. Recent families describe our service as “beyond all expectation” and praise how we make “a difficult time so bearable”.
