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.

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.

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