What families say

"The staff at Rowland Brothers treated my Dad with the utmost respect, care and dignity right from when he passed away, through to the funeral planning to the actual burial — in particular Chelsey and Carly who were so patient, understanding, knowledgeable and very supportive."

— Victoria Acquah (about Chelsey)

"From the moment I made the call to the office then had my first meeting with Sarah I just knew I was in the right place and knew my Mum would be treated with respect and dignity and her send off would be a special one — and it was."

— Denise Thompson (about Sarah)

"He 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. So efficient. The day of the funeral was also so good — John kept me updated throughout and made sure everything went smoothly. And it did."

— Yvonne Anderson (about David Webb)

"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. If you want your loved one to be laid to rest in the most respectful and beautiful way — these are the people for you."

— Amy Tandoh (about Adam Killick)

"I was able to help dress my Mum and style her hair. Before dressing she was washed and her hair washed — 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."

— Denise Thompson (about Sarah)

"We had some financial difficulties and they did what they could to ensure my father still got the burial he deserved. There really are no words to express the gratitude we feel to Rowland Brothers — in particular David Webb who worked with us for weeks to arrange my dad's funeral, the nicest most kindest man I've met."

— Amy Tandoh (about David Webb)

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!

The staff at Roland Brothers treated my Dad with the utmost respect, care and dignity right from when he passed away, through to the funeral planning to the actual burial. The team were absolutely amazing, and in particular Chelsey and Carly who were so patient, understanding, knowledgeable and very supportive. Dad’s funeral last week went smoothly and myself and the family were very happy with service we received. I would certainly recommend others to use their services, you will never regret your decision!

During a difficult time, this funeral home provided compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. Every detail was handled with grace and dignity, and 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 and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of thoughtful, caring service. Special mention to David Webb, Adam Killick and Father Sam, Thank you all so much.

My family and I used Rowland Brothers (Croydon) for a traditional funeral for our late Mum. The service we received was exceptional. Our Funeral Dirrctor , David was so attentive and professional. He 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. So efficient. The day of the funeral was also so good. John, in charge of the hearst and Drivers was just the best. He kept me updated throughout and made sure everything went smoothly. And it did. As for my Driver, Phil, lovely bloke. Can't thank RowBros enough. Absolutely brilliant Company.
