What families say

"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our family felt supported and understood. They were patient with our questions, respectful of our wishes, and made a painful process feel a little lighter. We are deeply grateful for their kindness."

— Elliot DeAlvis (about David Webb)

"I sent a picture of my dad's forever bed to Sarah and requested mum's be the same β€” and it was perfect, which I really appreciated. Thank you for making a difficult time for me and my family as stress free as possible."

— Heather Hunte (about Sarah Neal)

"David went above and beyond to source a Mormon Bishop to conduct the church service for us. He responded to my emails and telephone calls immediately. John, in charge of the hearse and drivers, kept me updated throughout and made sure everything went smoothly. Can't thank RowBros enough. Absolutely brilliant company."

— Yvonne Anderson (about David)

"We lost our dad quite suddenly and the whole process felt overwhelming at first. Sarah showed genuine compassion, patience, and professionalism throughout, guiding us through every step with such sensitivity and understanding. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Thanks to everyone involved, the service was a truly fitting and meaningful farewell β€” which made an incredibly difficult time just that little bit easier to bear."

— Danielle McGrath (about Sarah)

"I was able to help dress my Mum and style her hair. Before dressing she was washed and her hair washed β€” they even took the time to use a shampoo for afro hair. Just one of so many examples of how every aspect was dealt with sensitivity, care, empathy and professionalism and I will always be so grateful for this."

— Denise Thompson

"Grief is so hard to navigate and despite still feeling sadness, one thing that has brought so much relief and peace is the service we have received from you. We had some financial difficulties and they did what they could to ensure my father still got the burial he deserved. David Webb worked with us for weeks to arrange my dad's funeral β€” the nicest most kindest man I've met. Adam spoke with the softest voice which shows he understood that what we were going through was hard."

— Amy Tandoh (about David Webb)

The end to end service provided by Rowland Brothers was exceptional. From our initial meeting with Sarah, our Funeral Arranger, Ruby Williams who also assisted with the arrangements, Tracy the Receptionist for her words of comfort, John whose professionalism was much admired and every one else who were involved in facilitating a beautiful and dignified funeral and burial of our beloved Mrs Claudeth Kayum on 27th August 2026. Many thanks.

Rowland Brothers helped me with my mum's funeral. I couldn't fault anything from my first meeting with Sarah Neal to the actual furneral day with Colin and his team. I sent a picture of my dad's forever bed to Sarah requested mum's be the same and it was perfect which I really appreciated. Want to thank Rowland Brothers for making a difficult time for me and family stress free as possible πŸ™πŸ½

Rowland Brothers provided exceptional care and support during one of the most difficult times for our family. We lost our dad quite suddenly, even though he had been unwell for some time, and the whole process felt overwhelming at first. From the very beginning, Sarah, our funeral arranger, was incredible. She showed genuine compassion, patience, and professionalism throughout, guiding us through every step with such sensitivity and understanding. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and she made sure everything was handled exactly as we wished. We would also like to mention the celebrant Beaulieu, who was arranged through Rowland Brothers, who delivered such a beautiful and personal service. She took the time to truly understand our dad and captured his life so perfectly, which meant a great deal to all of us. Thanks to Sarah and everyone involved, the service was a truly fitting and meaningful farewell for our dad. We are so grateful for the care, dignity, and support shown throughout, which made an incredibly difficult time just that little bit easier to bear. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rowland Brothers to anyone in need of funeral services. Thank you again for everything.

Rowland Brothers recently carried out the funeral and arrangements for our lovely mum. They also did so for our dad 10 years ago. Everyone was so helpful and kind, There was always very good information and support . The arrangements were made easily and on the day the funeral went very well and exactly how we wanted it to. Help was there before and after and every query we had was dealt with helpfully and kindly. I can honestly really recommend them and would not hesitate to use their services again. Many thanks to all the team.

My father believed in nothing but perfection, and his funeral was. He would have been so proud and by how much Heather the celebrant had to say about his life. The funeral was perfect and as beautiful. Carly (funeral director), John PR (conductor on the day), Heather (celebrant) and the rest of the guys on the day and team in the office were all amazing!
