A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Breast Cancer Care Afternoon Tea in our Tunbridge Wells Office today. The ladies who manage the branch (Sam and Rosanna) worked very hard and did a wonderful job making the cakes.
We would also like to thank Steph Harrison from Breast Cancer Care for attending today and giving a speech (see the video on our YouTube channel, link below) about her cancer experience and how we should all check for lumps and changes in our breasts.
It’s never too late to check yourself and we hope the money we raised goes a long way to helping those who need help.
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.
