Swanley Funeral Home Coronavirus Precautions & Social Distancing in Place
As local funeral directors Swanley, Kent, that serve the local Swanley community, we have put in place coronavirus and social distancing precautions. We have added:
and in our arrangement room, placed a Covid clear, Perspex “sneeze” screen.
Please make an appointment. To maintain social distancing, we limit access to 2 people per household. Only 1 household at a time. Don’t be offended if asked to confirm that you have had no contact with anyone testing positive for coronavirus, or whether you have any symptoms,
 Accept the sanitation offered when arriving, and sit the other side of the acrylic ‘sneeze’ screen from our staff.
Calm leadership and deep industry knowledge – the skills and expertise that make our Operations Manager a key part of the experience we offer to families across West Kent and Southeast London who need to arrange a funeral to remember their loved one.
One of the options you will be asked to consider when planning a funeral is whether you would like your loved one to be embalmed. If you’re planning your own funeral, you will be asked to consider whether you would like your body to be embalmed when the time comes. But what exactly is embalming? What does it involve? And is it always necessary? Â

However, it is a crucial step in the funeral proceedings, one which you have not only an administrative, but also a legal duty to fulfil.
