    Charlee was my contact and she was amazing, she kept me informed all along the way - I could not have expected any more. Charlee was sympathetic, kind, thoughtful, respectful and understanding. Roland’s did everything they were suppose to and all requests were carried out effortlessly and immediately - didn’t need to chase them once. Thank you Rowlands.

    Rowland Brothers Croydon provided excellent and exceptional services for my late father. They were required out of normal office hours and they arrived promptly and gave my father the dignity and respect that he deserved. Carly was a dedicated and professional person who helped arranging a beautiful bespoke service for my Dad. The lovely guy on the day was so nice and friendly. I would recommend anyone to use Rowland Brothers with no hesitation. Thank you for your wonderful service.
    Response from the owner:Dear Samantha, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review. It was truly our privilege to support you and your family during this difficult time. We are so pleased to hear that Carly and the team were able to provide the care, professionalism, and compassion you needed, both in arranging the service and on the day itself. Ensuring that your father was treated with dignity and respect was our highest priority, and we are honored to have been able to help create a meaningful farewell for him. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we deeply appreciate your trust in Rowland Brothers. Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can be of any further assistance.

    Wow! Rowland brothers. I’m actually lost for words because your service is impeccable. 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. On 5/03/2025 I laid my dad to rest and Rowland Brothers from start to finish were so considerate and helpful. 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. The orders of service were just as we’d hoped and even when we would visit dad at the funeral directors he was placed in the most beautiful chapel. I also want to acknowledge Adam and the guys who worked with him on the day of dad’s burial. Very empathetic and Adam spoke with the softest voice which shows he understood that what we were going through was hard. All I can say to finish is if you want your loved one to be laid to rest in the most respectful and beautiful way. These are the people for you. Thank you Rowland Brothers x
    Response from the owner:Dear Amy Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. We are truly honoured to have been able to support you during such a difficult time, and it means so much to hear that our service provided you with some relief and peace. Grief is never easy to navigate, and we are grateful for the opportunity to help you honour your father in a meaningful way. I have passed your kind words onto David, Adam, and the whole team. They are truly dedicated to providing compassionate care, and your feedback reaffirms the importance of what we do. We are so thankful for the trust you placed in us, and we’re here for you if you ever need anything in the future. kind regards Joe Rowland Director

    I wish to say a very big thank you, to Rowland. Brothers, who arranged my mums funeral yesterday (5.3.25). The moment we booked the appointment all the way through to the end of the funeral, the staff were professional and caring. We had used Rowland brothers ten years previously for my Dads funeral and I’m pleased to say that their standards remain as high as ever. At a time when I felt so upset, Rowland brothers were able to take away all the stress that usually comes with organising a funeral. I really cannot recommend them enough.
    Response from the owner:Dear Sam, Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. We are truly honored to have been entrusted with both your mum’s and dad’s funerals, and it means a great deal to us that our support provided comfort during such a difficult time. Our team is dedicated to offering the very best compassionate and professional care, and knowing that we could help ease your burden is incredibly meaningful. We deeply appreciate your recommendation and your trust in us. Please know that we are always here for you and your family whenever you need us. kind regards Joe Rowland Director
