Rowland Brothers Funeral Directors Omdömen 

I asked for a quote to transport my brother's ashes from Cornwall to York. They quoted £1,710. Luckily a reputable firm quoted £295.
I have discussed this with friends and relatives. They are so shocked that a funeral director would try to rip off a bereaved person. You expect dodgy dealing with car sales etc, but in all my many years I've never heard of a funeral director treating a potential customer this way. Zero stars would have been a good option.

Ive just contacted Rowlands as i want my body to be Cryonically preserved. And needed approx costs this end to attend my body at death and ship me to CI in the usa. Ive just received a message back with approx costs and a personal phone number if i need more help. This is what i call service! Fantastic keep up the great work.

Words cannot fully convey my gratitude for the Rowland Brothers. The entire team made my mum's funeral remarkably stress-free and smooth, with everyone going the extra mile, particularly Carly and Adam. I felt constantly supported and at ease, even on one of the most challenging days of my life.Their service was exceptionally priced, considering the quality provided. The numerous personal touches were deeply appreciated, and I believe my mum would have cherished them too.

We used Rowland Brothers new Addington for my mum's funeral, they have been nothing but kind, professional and understanding why going through the whole process, big thanks to Jackie, who was our main point of contact to help arrange the funeral, she was always available when we need any help or questions answering and went through everything with us why arranging the funeral, thank you to Tony and colleagues for looking after my mum and bringing her to the crematorium and to Beaulieu, the celebrant who was also so helpful, kind and supportive and and available if we needed anything, why planning the service, which was very beautiful, they all made the whole thing as smooth and stress free under the circumstances, we could not of asked for a better experience.

Thankyou so much for recently conducting my mums funeral and caring for her so lovely before the day.
There was always someone at the end of a phone to speak to with any concerns. I can’t thank Jan enough for being so kind and caring. A big Thankyou to Scott and the team for conducting my mums funeral , Scott was very professional and was so well presented. He organised my mums last journey to the market a place she most definitely loved. Scott is great ambassador for your business.

Our family have always used Rowland Brothers. Thank you for your kind, compassionate professionalism organising my Mum’s funeral and caring for her beforehand. Carly was extremely helpful, replying promptly to queries and following them all through with empathy and kindness. David and the team, thank you for making the day flow with respect and care. Two words. First class. Nothing more needs saying.

I cannot express to you how grateful I am for the Rowland Brothers. Every single person who worked on my mums funeral went above and beyond to make the whole experience as stress free and easy as possible (especially Carly and Adam). I felt comfortable and supported throughout the day. They made one of the hardest days of my life that little bit easier.

It was also very affordable for the level of service they provided. There were lots of small, personal touches they included which I really appreciated, and I feel my mum would have loved it.

"Rowlands Brothers made the entire process seamless, from the afternoon they picked up my sister's body from home to the day of her funeral. Despite being just three weeks into the role, the limo driver on the morning of the funeral made the journey comfortable and pleasant."

Thanks so much to you (David) and your team for your help and support in arranging my mum’s funeral. Everything went to plan and went extremely smoothly.

From start to finish you made it easier to deal with. Thanks again.

Great, sensitive, considerate organiser of our fathers cremation, I got the impression they really care for us in our time of grief. On the day of the funeral they were unobtrusive and just ensured things happened as needed.

Rowland Bros David, Courtney and the team were incredible. During the very difficult time of losing my Father, they made the whole process seamless and helped us make difficult decisions and at every turn treated us and dad with care and respect. On the day they helped us through every step and although heartbreaking the professionalism of the team helped the day run perfectly. Everybody said it was a beautiful service. Thank you David, Courtney and Tony.

At a very sad time for us, your service was so reassuring. On the most difficult day your support, compassion and kindness was such a comfort…. You helped to make our dear Laura’s final journey a perfect one… thank you.

We were delighted with the way that everything went so smoothly before and during the funeral. David in the Purley office made the planning simple and facilitated all of the elements with great communication. Peter and his team were very professional and provided a calming presence during the funeral. Mike (the celebrant) made the service flow with compassion and obvious expertise. Many of the attendees have mentioned what a success it was and how it gave Tom a beautiful send off.

My Father passed away in late February and Jan and her team at Rowland Brothers were on hand to help my brother and I at this very difficult time.

They made the whole funeral process seamless, made some great suggestions for the funeral and introduced us to a wonderful Celebrant who provided a beautiful service on the day.

The service we had from Jan and her team was second to none and we will be forever grateful for the kind and considerate service they provided.

It gives great comfort at Christmas when I can leave a

Odette at Rowland Brothers office at 434 Limpsfield Road CR6 9LG reminded me that great old fashioned service is still out there. The genuine warmth and sympathy and professional attitude not only of this kind lady, but the entire company, and the compassion shown was something that helped me smoothly get through this most harrowing of times. I lost my beautiful wife and don't know how I would have got through the mist without the support she provided. I commend this most excellent company to you.

Masonry Brochure

I enquired about a masonry brochure online and because my mum is not Fone savvy and it would have taken ages for her to look at the brochure online (she is 84) I emailed Rowland Brothers to ask whether they could send us a brochure that she could have a look at. Within an hour I received an email from Steve and my brochure is on its way. This morning I got an email from Chloe saying if I have any questions or needed a quote to get back in contact with her. This is 100% fantastic customer service.

Thank you Steve and Chloe from Rowland Brothers we will have a look as soon as the brochure arrives.

my mum’s funeral was ruined by this company we spent 1800 pounds for white carriage n horses followed by 4 black cars to follow hours making all the arrangements which was completely ignored on the night before the funeral instructions were given for the carriage n cars in certain way before one way system n details of what flowers would go on the top of carriage.The carriage came in the wrong way n had the difficulty of turning round 2000 worth of flowers was crammed into the carriage with cars with no roof racks for the overload flowers on lookers were in tears it was a shambles we spent 7500.00 with Rowlands please think before u make the same mistake The accounts manager is very rude gives threatening speech about payment lefted with a very red face when the money was paid could not apologise enough kept making excuses my mum was 91 her family knew Tony Rowland for years attending Benhans n Chincharo funerals this company needs to sort out Staff training

The young lady dealing with me made all the arrangements. She was very kind, patient and professional. She explained all procedures and communicated with me all the way through. It all went very smoothly, from her contacting a celebrant, helping me with the paperwork, organising everything through to the day of the cremation. I did not feel I was pushed into spending more than I wanted. When changes were made to the order of service they did their best to accommodate my wishes.
The day of the Celebration of Life also went very smoothly too. They made sure we knew what to do and when. At such a difficult time, it was reassuring to know other people were in charge and I did not have to worry.
All who attended the service remarked on how dignified and well-organised the occasion was.
I was very pleased with the services of Rowland Brothers and definitely recommend them.

We wanted to give a HUGE vote of thanks to the Purley branch of Rowland Brothers.
We had the funeral yesterday for my 92 year old mother who had spent her last 15 years (with dementia) in Signature, Purley (which is an excellent home).
Jan in the shop was truly amazing, very helpful, kind and compassionate in all our conversations.
She was also helpful with the administration issues and general assistance with all our bereavement requirements.
Neil Athron is truly amazing guy and a 'Master of Ceremonies' for this special event. He is a consumate professional and a ‘Beacon of Excellence’ for Rowland Brothers.
We have sadly lost a number of our family over the last couple of years and have used R.Bros for every funeral.
Have to say their business model is excellent and they have wonderful people facilitating families needs in a very professional way and at a very difficult time.
Truly a ‘6 Star’ experience.
