About Us

At Rowland’s Funeral Services, Marsha Vincent and her caring team are on call to help, when families need the support of a local funeral director.

The experienced funeral directors at this long-established Petersfield funeral home are here to make things as reassuring as possible for bereaved families at a very difficult time.

Providing comfortable facilities for local people to arrange their loved one’s funeral, the Rowland’s team is here to listen, respond and provide as much support and respectful advice as is needed.

This funeral home has two bright and comfortable lounges for families making funeral arrangements and its own facilities on site to look after people and prepare them for their funeral. There are four beautiful private chapels of rest, with a key available to families so they can visit their loved one at any time of day or night, without having to make an appointment.

Rowland’s Funeral Service can help with every element of the funeral according to your wishes, or family tradition – and can arrange for any type of funeral vehicle, from limousines and horse-drawn hearse to a motorcycle-led cortege.

Families seeking a venue for the funeral may consider Rowland’s own funeral chapel, for the service and catered wake. The funeral home has its own private car park and, providing complete services for the bereaved all under one roof, families can view coffins and memorial masonry in its dedicated showrooms.

This caring funeral home is a member of the two leading funeral professional organisations, the NAFD and SAIF and proudly upholds the high standard of service to the bereaved that both institutes maintain.

Run by a family that is there to support yours at a very difficult time, call Rowland’s Funeral Services for respectful and dignified funeral service as soon as it is needed.

    We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Marsha & her team at Rowlands for looking after our precious mum. 
    We were so thankful for the guidance that Marsha provided throughout this very sad and difficult time. 
    We felt our beautiful mum was respected and treated with dignity every step of her journey which provided the family with comfort.

  • 5 Justin Smith 1st Dec 2024

    I’m so happy that we chose Rowlands. Their kindness compassion and efficiency was so appreciated at this difficult time. Marsha made the whole organisation of the funeral as straightforward as possible and when the officiant was unable at the final hour arranged a replacement who was superb. Many thanks to the team. 

  • 5 Sue Williams 1st Nov 2024

    Thank you for providing a service that was compassionate in the complete calmness in which it was delivered.  Nothing felt too much to ask.  The help in finding the right piece of music we had been hunting for was just beyond our expectation.  Marsha was always kindness itself and took the time to speak with us even when she wasn’t expecting us.  She had never met  our mum but her dedication only made our family feel cared about but that our mum was the VIP she was to us.  Thank you Marsha.  Thanks are also due to the young lady in the office who also demonstrated a kind and friendly attitude towards us whenever we did call in.  Also the driver of our limousine and the gentleman pallbearers who assisted Mum’s grandsons to carry her in.   I can’t thank you all for making such a sad event be as peaceful and easy as it was.

    The whole process of arranging the Funeral was made as painless and as possible. The Funeral itself was at a natural burial site and the journey down to Mum's final resting place through the woods in the pouring rain was handled with care from Owen and Elise and the bearers.
