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.

    Rowlands were sympathetic and helpful at all levels. I felt that they went that little bit further to make sure that our requirements were properly considered and met.

  • 5 Victoria Trench 15th Feb 2022

  • 5 Kelly Fox 14th Feb 2022

    Rowlands couldn't have made things any easier. Wonderful friendly support and advice.
    A very calming experience at a very tough time.
    Highly recommended 

  • 5 Zoe Langford 13th Feb 2022

    Rowland's were so helpful and kind after the passing of our father, and helped to organise everything seamlessly. Charlotte was kind and adaptable throughout, and it really took the burden away from us in a difficult time.

  • 5 Jane-Marie Nixon 6th Feb 2022

    Charlotte at Rowlands was caring and compassionate in the way that she guided us through mum's funeral arrangements and she seamlessly and professionally oversaw proceedings on the day.

    My dear mum couldn't have been in better hands and we, as a family, are so very grateful to her for sensitively ensuring that our wishes were carried out and that mum had a fitting farewell.

  • 5 Paul Martin 26th Jan 2022

    Rowland’s provided very helpful advice and faultless service. A highly professional and caring company.

  • 5 Vee Burton 20th Jan 2022

    From the start to the finish of this very emotional and difficult time, staff went above and beyond to ensure that all my wishes for my dear Mothers service were met. As my Mother passed away just before Xmas and was not local to us I really felt that I wanted my Mother close by and staff ensured that this happened. I can not express how much comfort this gave me. Dear Marsha was fantastic at liaising with the various people involved and passing on my requests, this allowed me to focus on all the other things that needed addressing. Staff were available and in contact frequently. My Mothers funeral service was just how I had visualized it to be, a celebration of the glamourous and much loved lady. Its the little things that make a difference such as taking the time to pick up a rose that fell from my Mothers coffin as she was taken to her final resting place. Thank you for holding my Mother gently and supporting me along the most difficult journey in my life. It could have been very different. Thank you. So pleased I chose you.

  • 5 David Clyde 20th Dec 2021

    I can’t really fault Rowlands. All went very smoothly and they were very reactive to our needs. Thanks to them, a difficult day was made easier.

  • 5 Brian Kercher 12th Dec 2021

    Cannot fault the professional approach that Marsha and Charlotte gave me in times of grief on the loss of my darling wife Christine. Thanks to both of you.

  • 5 Roger Lacey 12th Dec 2021

    I found that everything was carried out sympathetically and professionally.Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and we as a family are very grateful.

  • 5 Phillip Moss 5th Dec 2021

    My father had previously chosen Rowlands and Marsha and her team had already looked after my mum with style, grace and sensitivity. 
    All of those qualities were present again when looking after my father. 
    It’s always a sad time when faced with the passing of a loved one but Marsha was fantastic in all aspects and made the occasion as bearable as could be. 
    Thank you. 

  • 5 Grahame Rankin 11th Nov 2021

    Thank you so much for guiding and supporting us through this difficult time. When there is so much to arrange, it was reassuring to know that Mum's funeral service was in good hands.

  • 5 Jeffrey Spong 7th Oct 2021

    From the moment I called them in the early hours following the death until the final internment, everything was perfect. Marsha was efficient and kind and nothing was too much trouble. I cannot fault her and her team.

  • 5 Sarah Mitchell 28th Sep 2021

    Outstanding and a beautiful service. Marsha was with us every step of the way on arrangements and what we needed to do. It was anything but a sad funeral. The service was beautiful and everything had been taken care of for us so we could relax on the day of the service. My dad would have been very proud. Thank you Marsha.

  • 5 David Harvey 11th Sep 2021

    Following the passing of our Dad, my brother and I were just so pleased with the service provided by Charlotte at Rowland's.  At such difficult time, she made things very easy and comfortable for us.  So very easy to deal with and eased the burden. Our Mum was very [leased with everything too.  100% recommend .   

  • 5 Jo Humphreys-Davies 6th Sep 2021

    Charlotte was thoughtful, kind and did everything she could to make the funeral stress-free and as beautiful as my mum would have wanted it to be.

  • 5 Nicola Wright 31st Aug 2021

    We had a bespoke funeral for my husband. Owen was absolutely amazing helping us with all the arrangements, as it was not the usual type of send off. He made sure and helped us get everything we wanted to do for my husband in place for the day. He met with us out of hours, to help my children and myself with are grieving process. Even my husbands dog was allowed to go to the chapel of rest, to help him. I can't thank the team at Rowlands enough for all there help and I would recommend them to anyone. I would give them 10 stars.
