The motor industry, as we know, is in turmoil with chip shortages, supply shortages, electrification. You know, the electric cars and vehicles don’t have the payload. They don’t have the range. So the cars that you see on the road today for funeral vehicles are not going to be there. And no one really knows where it’s going to go. It’s crystal ball time.
So it’s everything’s is in transition. So, I’m not saying yesterday was better or tomorrow is going to be worse. I’m just saying we don’t know where it’s going to go. And I think we’re all in in the same boat in many ways. So what the next 30 years holds? No idea.

At Welham Jones Funeral Directors, supporting our local communities in West Kent and Southeast London is at the heart of everything we do. This Christmas, we’re once again spreading festive cheer through our annual chocolate appeal: collecting sweet treats for local children who might otherwise go without. If you’d like to get involved, here’s how you can support our branches across West Kent and Southeast London.Â
Back in February, we welcomed Ricci Webster, our newest Tunbridge Wells funeral arranger, to Welham Jones. And, we have to say, if there is anyone who has a natural knack for building rapport and always knowing the right words to say – or not say – it’s Ricci, who brings experience as both a hairdresser and working in a private baby scanning clinic. Thus, it is our pleasure to introduce you formally to Ricci.
