WELHAM JONES COVID UPDATE
As of Monday 19th July, stage 4 of the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown commences. Welham Jones will move forward inline with the easing of restrictions but we will be adopting a cautious approach to how we change the way services are delivered, to continue to ensure the safety of clients and our staff.
From Monday 19th
All legal restrictions on funeral attendees are lifted. Social distancing and the use of face masks is no longer a legal requirement, but we ask you to take caution and if you feel unsafe in a gathering then please feel free to wear a face mask and ask others to do so if you wish. Some venues are still asking for face masks to be worn inside the chapels, please ask us at the time for more information.
Our branches will be open to face to face arrangements once again, but please feel free to wear a face covering if you feel safer, and ask us to do the same if you wish. Some of our staff may wear a face mask on your arrival but may remove it once seated in the arranging room behind the desk screen.
Screens will be remaining in place in the branches and in our limousines to ensure everyone’s safety. We also ask that you use the hand gel & sanitation provided on arrival at the branch.
For face to face meetings, we would ask that you please make an appointment; this will avoid unnecessary risk.
We will also still continue with online arrangements and electronic signature if this is something you would prefer if you feel it isn’t safe to meet face to face Chapel viewings and dressing of your loved ones remain the same, we do ask that you respect our decision if we limit the number of mourners inside the chapel of rest, this will be down to each individual branch and size of chapel, please ask us at the time of arrangement.
If you have any questions or queries about this please get in touch.
By completing a Letter of Wishes form, you can convey your wishes about the funeral you want and – at the same time – save your family from having to make any difficult decisions during a time of grief. The letter of wishes form for funerals It is not legally binding but is a useful and confidential communication to your loved ones.
People’s mindsets and attitudes towards funerals and death have shifted, with many viewing funerals as an opportunity to celebrate life, rather than mourn it. The first key decision you must make is whether you want to be cremated or buried and where you might like your final resting place to be. These decisions are all flexible and should be discussed with your funeral director.
Welham Jones has made it through to the finals of the Family Business of the Year Awards. Shortlisted in the South East category, the family values that run through every aspect of our business have been key in helping us reach the finals.
