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.

    Charlotte was incredibly helpful and supportive in guiding us through arranging my mothers funeral. Her kind and empathic nature made the process a lot easier to manage because she was always so willing to do what ever she could to ease the burden at a difficult time. The service was second to none and I thoroughly recommend Rowland Funeral Services.

    Marsha and her team provided an excellent, responsive  and caring service for my mother’s funeral. At the service ( a natural burial) the team were very respectful and dignified and all went according to plan. Marsha made the planning and day straightforward and less stressful  for the family. Thank you . Linda Harris.

    Owen and the team have been so very helpful to me and my family. Always on hand whatever time of day/night to look after us in anyway they can. 
    Owen has particularly gone out of his way to make a very difficult time much easier for me, and has been personally caring and very professional at all times. 
    Thank you all very much xx

  • 5 Richard Knight 29th May 2023

    Everyone at Rowlands has been kind and supportive and Owen did a great job from start to finish. It was made very easy and that was what was needed.

    I feel very happy about recommending them.

  • 5 Mark Attree 15th May 2023

    Losing a loved one is a very difficult time, and having to plan their funeral can add to the emotional strain. 

    However, Rowland’s made the whole ‘process’ extremely easy. 

    Rowland’s are caring without being emotionally over the top. The are professional throughout.

    They cared for my mother throughout. One particular moment struck out above all. I wanted to visit my mum before her funeral. Mum was laying in one of their chapels. The funeral director took me to the chapel, but before entering the chapel, the funeral director knocked on the door. How lovely and respectful.

    I decided to use their room to hold the service, again this was faultless. Everything planned from service sheets, music, and flowers. 

    Rowland’s have a small parking area which we used on the day of the service. As we approached by car, a member of staff was waiting for us at the gate. Again, what a lovely touch.

    I have so much praise. If one can use the term ‘lovely’ for a funeral, then I am happy to say Rowland’s gave my mother a lovely and special day. 

  • 4 Jill Turner 15th May 2023

    We found them very helpful, accommodating and respectful of our wishes. Should I be in this situation again I would go to Rowlands.

  • 5 Charles Craig 5th May 2023

    Rowlands Funeral Services are excellent. The staff at Petersfield demonstrated great care, sensitivity and professionalism during a very difficult time. Their ability to include personal touches as well as overall guidance was impressive.
    For these reasons it is easy for my family to recommend their first-class services.

  • 5 Annette Turner 2nd May 2023

    Roland’s Funeral services were fantastic. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed and treated with sympathy and respect. They helped us to make decisions and carefully went through all the options. The service was first class and at times, we felt they had gone above and beyond in their support for us. Thank you so much for helping us remember our loved one in a very special way. 

  • 5 Mike Ball 30th Apr 2023

    Very impressed professional and caring

  • 5 Belinda Ellis 28th Apr 2023

    Our whole family was so impressed with how professional and kind everyone at Rowland was. They were absolutely fantastic and handled the whole funeral at the church and the crematorium the next day with complete respect for our Dad. We’re most helpful with changes to the service sheet and kept us informed about everything.
    Very highly recommended…

    5 star rating 😊

  • 5 Diane Brown 7th Apr 2023

    I cannot praise Rowland's enough. From start to finish the care they took in looking after my Dad was second to none. They had done my Mum's funeral only seven weeks previously and I would thoroughly recommend them 100%.

  • 5 Catrine Clay 2nd Apr 2023

    This was beautifully handled, from the start, which included a talk with John before he died, and then myself, and on to the funeral and burial. You listened carefully to what we wanted, and then fulfilled it. Always quiet and respectful. Thank you. Catrine Clay
