"Incredibly empathetic, professional and warm, nothing was too much. So much care and respect was shown from the day my dad passed to the funeral. If you are looking for a funeral director to look after a loved one then Rowland Brothers are in my opinion the company you should use."
— Andrew Mackay (about David)
"The added touch of the personalised folder at the end which contained the funeral service booklet and pockets for messages, came as a surprise and shows how thoughtful RB are. Additionally the printed framed photo for my husband was also a great touch. Courtney, Maya, Joe and his team were ever so caring, patient and helpful — absolute first class service!"

Our mother’s funeral was organised beautifully and professionally by Courtney and David. Everything went according to plan which meant we could concentrate solely on saying a final goodbye to our lovely Mum.

We used the Warlingham branch of Rowland brothers in June 2026 for our Mums funeral. From the moment we first called them after our Mums passing they were always so kind and helpful. Courtney made the whole funeral planning process very easy in what was a very difficult time. David and all his team at Rowland brothers helped give my Mum the best celebration of life at Botley hill farm with whom they have a partnership with, the location was perfect for our Mums day and everything went perfectly as did her cremation service at Beckenham crematorium a couple of days later. If you unfortunately need to use the services of a funeral directors I would highly recommend Warlingham Rowland Brothers

The staff that we dealt with at both the Warlingham and Croydon branches, either on the phone or in person, were all amazing and extremely considerate. Rowlands Brothers provided the utmost care and support in dealing with or dear Dad’s final journey. We can neither thank nor recommend them enough.

David and his staff were first class the day my dad passed to the funeral. So much care and respect was shown. Incredibly empathetic, professional and warm, nothing was too much. If you are looking for a funeral director to look after a loved one then Rowland Brothers are in my opinion the company you should use. Thanks again to David and his staff, you were all simply fantastic
