    I’m am extremely grateful for the level of care they have provided to my brother from the start. They have made it easy, stress free from the collection of the body to the finally bits of laying him to rest, they listen and put everything in place, the Paul bearers went above and beyond in their attire to coordinate with the team, I must say a big thank you to sarah we are extremely grateful, my brother was laid to rest in style and class…

    The funeral service was professional, considerate & very well arranged. The arrangements prior to the funeral day were well organised & competent and it was a pleasure dealing with Janet at the Purley branch.

    I originally left a two star review for this organisation based on the fact they made a number of very basic, serious errors (for example - wrong death of death on coffin, wrong cause of death information given to coroner and various other issues which left me with very little confidence in them). Following a meeting with them I am satisfied they have taken my concerns seriously and put in place training and procedures to ensure no other customer suffers the same problems. I have therefore amended my review and rating a little to reflect this.
    Response from the owner:Dear Linda, We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and deeply regret any distress caused during such a difficult time. Providing the highest level of care and professionalism is extremely important to us, and we sincerely apologise for the errors and miscommunications you encountered. We take your concerns very seriously and would like to understand more about what happened to ensure that we learn from this and make the necessary improvements. Please do reach out to us directly at steve@rowlandbrothers.com so we can discuss this further and address your concerns personally. Once again, we are very sorry for any additional stress this may have caused you and your family, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us to improve our services. Kind regards, Steve Rowland Managing Director

    I recently contacted Rowland Brothers on an unusual and sensitive matter. David Webb responded swiftly and with great sensitivity, showing real flexibility and creativity in helping us find a respectful way forward.

    As executor, it was important to me to preserve the dignity of the process. I was totally reassured by how professionally everything was handled. It made a difficult situation feel much more manageable. Charli at the Beddington branch handled matters on the day with equal sensitivity and common sense.

    Thank you to David and the team for your kindness and understanding—your support has been much appreciated.

    Response from the owner:Dear Jason, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We're truly grateful you took the time to share your experience. It was our privilege to support you through such a sensitive and unique situation. David, Charlie, and the entire team are deeply touched by your appreciation, and we're glad to have been able to provide reassurance and professionalism during a time that we know was challenging. Preserving dignity and offering compassionate support are values we hold dear, and it's heartening to know that came through in your experience. Thank you again for placing your trust in us. Kind Regards Joe Rowland Director

    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.
    Response from the owner:Dear DT, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words and positive experience with us. We are deeply touched by your feedback and are honoured to have been able to support you during such a difficult time. At Rowland Brothers, we strive to provide the utmost care, compassion, and professionalism to every family we serve.

    I can’t thank Rowland Brothers enough for their personal and friendly service. Both Tracy and Adam were so compassionate and looked after me throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble and they helped to make my husband’s funeral the most fitting, dignified and beautiful send off. So grateful to them both. Thank you.

    We are funeral directors based in Malta and often we are approached by Maltese families to assist with funeral and cremation services of a loved one living in the Greater London area. To assist these families in the best manner possible we rely on the professional service and expertise provided by Rowland Brothers in Croydon. We have used their services for the past 50 years and without fail we have always been thanked by the families for referring them to Rowland Brothers.

    Their staff is caring and emphatic toward the needs and wishes of families and they always serve with dignity and respect. Well done to all the team and keep up the good work.
