Funeral Directors and Monumental Masons

Welham Jones is an independent, family run and own company which was established in 1992. Our first branch to open was in Sevenoaks in the iconic “French’s Dairy” building on the corner of London Road and St Botolph’s Road. The Welham Jones family have lived and grown up in Sevenoaks since the 1960’s and the remaining family members still live here today.

We expanded the business in 1998 with the opening of our Chislehurst branch, followed closely with our Swanley office in 2000.

In 2003 Simon Welham retired from the city and became a full time member of the Welham Jones team, taking on the management and day to day running of the business, allowing his then father in law Mac Jones to step back from the day to day running giving him more time to arrange and conduct personal and close friends funeral.

In 2004 we opened our central office/private mortuary in Dunton Green, which meant we could look after families needs and requirements and allowed us the space to continue to expand.
