About

Rowlands Funeral Services is the only independent, family-owned funeral service in Petersfield, Hampshire, with a proud history dating back to 1934. Founded by Percy Vincent in partnership with his father-in-law William Rowland, the business has been serving the communities of Hampshire, West Sussex and beyond for three generations. The original philosophy — 'Every client will be cared for as though they were part of our family' — remains at the heart of everything they do today, under the leadership of current Director Marsha Vincent, the founder's granddaughter.

Located in the centre of Petersfield at St Peter's Road, the branch offers an extensive range of facilities under one roof, including four Chapels of Rest, a Service Chapel, and a personal key system allowing families to visit at any time. Their coverage extends to Rowlands Castle, Havant, Waterlooville, Liss, Liphook, and surrounding areas. The team operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ensuring families always have support when they need it most.

Rowlands Funeral Services offers a wide variety of funeral vehicles, from traditional horse-drawn carriages to classic VW Camper Vans, alongside memorials, coffins, and pre-payment plans. Their highly qualified and experienced staff are committed to delivering a dignified, compassionate, and stress-free service tailored to each family's individual needs.

What families say

"I cannot thank Marsha and her team enough for their constant attentiveness, professionalism, courtesy, discretion and above all, the level of sincerity and respect they showed me, my sister and my father. The funeral was amazing, flowed perfectly and everyone who attended complimented us on the way it was handled."

— Steven Welton (about Marsha)

"They put us at ease and carefully guided us through options for respectfully farewelling my mother. It felt like an incredibly personal and bespoke service."

— clare wong

"I would like to thank the staff of Rowland's for the exceptional care and compassion displayed to the family, which provided much comfort to us all throughout a very difficult time. Personable, respectful, dignified, empathetic, understanding, sensitive, accommodating, caring, supportive — all done with authenticity in an unpressured environment. We felt supported and guided throughout."

— Angela Higney

"I don't mind saying how nervous I was beforehand, but Marsha made me feel like we were in great hands and their level of expertise and just knowing how to do things properly really shone through. When you are grieving and dealing with all the dozens of things one has to cope with after the death of a loved one, you don't want one of them to be a headache — and the whole thing with Rowlands was absolutely wonderful."

— Steven Welton (about Marsha)

"From our very first call with Phil I had a good feeling that here was someone who was a good listener, empathetic and would treat the whole process not only with professionalism but with sensitivity and calm. His guidance on all the practical arrangements was very reassuring and allowed us to focus on creating a service that we felt truly honoured the essence of the deceased."

— Angela Higney (about Phil)
