After a 2 year break from hosting a Sevenoaks Chamber Event due to COVID, we are back. In true Welham Jones style we joined hands with the new Bluebell Cemetery in Halstead to showcase who we are and what we do. Bluebell opened in June 2019 and we have been using them ever since, so it seemed fitting that we should come together for such an event.
We decided to shake things up a bit and move away from the typical presentation talks, any one fancy a go at the ‘Generation Game!!!’…
The first go was Welham Jones, we showed the audience our attention and level to detail when it comes to carrying out a funeral. We carried a (fake weighted) coffin into the chapel and placed it on the catafalque flawlessly.
Four kind volunteers were then called upon to carry out the same procedure. We gave them a briefing on what to expect and how to carry. With one volunteer saying, ‘OMG it’s so heavy’. Some hiccups along the way but overall, they did really well.
The point to this is what you are wondering?
As a business we strive to give a personal service, we go the extra mile, our attention to detail is second to none and we allow families to have as much or as little involvement in the process as they wish. It is their loved one’s funeral, and it must be done right for them. No funeral is the same, and we want to make sure each family has the celebration of life they would want without any worries.

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to rage on, there is sadly no better news when it comes to funeral costs. SunLife recently released their Cost of Dying Report 2025 and found that it is currently more expensive than ever to die. But what do these statistics really mean? Where is your – or your loved ones’ – money going? And what financing options are available to ease stress in an already emotional time?
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?
