I was treated in a very professional and sympathetic manner throughout the whole process. I sincerely thank Owen and Charlotte for their patience and kindness during this difficult period. Everything possible was done to smooth my path and both my relatives and Sue's agreed that we were able to give her the best possible send-off. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Patricia Holroyde 17th Mar 2023

Words can’t begin to express my joy and thankfulness for what Rowlands Funeral Services have helped me create for my Husband's final journey in mid March. Every member of staff worked toward interpreting my ideas so completely. The tribute was extraordinary, the whole was handled so professionally, but on a personal level, the memory of the warmth I received and the care shown for my Husband will never fade. So please understand how strongly I recommend the Rowlands team to your and your family.

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.

  • 5 Kelly Fox 11th Mar 2023

    Very sadly, I had my Fathers funeral to organise after my Mothers only a year ago. Rowlands are fantastic, they did both, so beautifully with compassion, ease and perfection.
    I couldn’t recommend them more.
    Lovely personal service.
    Thank you Marsha

    Amazing, caring and professional team. A real pleasure from the first meeting to the end of the service. 

  • 5 Diane Brown 17th Feb 2023

    I have worked in the funeral business for a number of years and latterly as a celebrant and Rowlands were my natural funeral directors of choice when it came to caring for my mother-in-law. Mum's family were very impressed and grateful for the care Rowlands showed to Mum and the professional way in which the funeral was conducted. Particular thanks must go to our main point of contact, Charlotte, although it was a team effort - Marsha, Owen and Karen and the team of bearers were marvellous. Thank you

  • 5 Carol Tubbs 12th Feb 2023

    From our first phone call we knew that our Mum was in safe hands. The care taken by Marsha and her whole team was exemplary. Everything was explained and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much for making a sad time so special.

  • 5 Rhona Russell 11th Feb 2023

    Rowlands have been wonderful from the first phone call. They were kind, compassionate, supportive and professional. They completely supported me and guided me and were always at the end of the phone. I could not have wished for anything more. I can only praise and thank them.

  • 5 Andrew Walford 10th Feb 2023

    Rowlands provided a very professional and friendly service at every step of the way.

  • 5 Becky Martin 9th Feb 2023

    Charlotte at Rowlands was as lovely, helpful and efficient for my Dad’s funeral as she was 15 months before for my Mum’s. I highly recommend Rowlands to guide you through this most challenging of life events.
