Rouse & Co Provided such a caring & compassionate service . They were available for every question or amendment we wanted,  often late into the night . They treated our family like we were the only family they were dealing with , when actually there were others but we were never made to feel like anything was an issue , everything was dealt with , with such compassion & gentleness. Thank you for everything.

Belands Parchment 25th Aug 2024

Very courteous, supportive and Caring, an overall excellent service all round.  Highly recommend for price and  all matters of concern.  Above and beyond expectations.  

Robert Pendry 24th Aug 2024

Incredible people who provide a first class service and being family run makes the service they provide feel so personal. We had a few issues on the day of the funeral as we had so many more people than expected. Rouse and Co sorted out the issues that arose with no fuss and remarkable speed. They delt with everything leading up to the day. All of that meant the day passed as best as it could as I didn’t have to worry about any details. I could truly focus on my difficult day.

  • 5 Annette Pinnell 24th Aug 2024

    My family chose Rouse & Co for my sister's funeral because we were immediately met with kindness and sensitivity from Louise. We were able to trust that my dear sister was being placed into their good and honest care. Every step of the way, options for the service were explained to us and they had all the time and patience needed while we chose music, photographs and flowers for the funeral service.
    On the day of the funeral, all our choices were delivered perfectly. Mark was our excellent, discreet and perfectly presented undertaker who taught our sons to be pall bearers with patience and had kind, gentle words for us all. The limousine we travelled in was in perfect condition and our chauffeur drove with great care and was very helpful, assisting my elderly mum into the car.
    Finally to add that not only was there kindness and efficiency but also value for money.
    Thank you Rouse & Co

    I can't thank Mark, Louise and the team enough for the way they handled my dad's funeral. From start to finish, they were caring, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive. They took care of every detail, making sure the service was exactly what we wanted. Their kindness made a tough time a bit easier, and I’m truly grateful. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a compassionate and reliable funeral director.

  • 5 Lee Murnin 17th Jun 2024

    Absolute 1st class service from the entire team at Rouse & Co, from the initial out of hours phone call with Mark right up until we parted at the end of the service. The entire process felt very personal and the attention to detail was exceptional. Friends and family have also commented on how beautiful the service was. We cannot thank you enough for making this sad day so special for my Dad and his family and friends. I would readily use Rouse & Co again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a funeral director. Lee

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Lee

    Dear Louise and Mark,
    Thank you very much for organizing the funeral for my daughter. Your service was excellent and respectful at all times. You were extremely supportive, caring and friendly, and communication was always prompt at all times.
    Thank you so much again.

  • 5 louisa Hardie 28th Apr 2024

    From the moment I first spoke to Mark I knew that I was making the right choice of putting my father in his care. Mark & Louise helped guide me through a very difficult time, showed care & compassion & communicated throughout. Everything about the service was perfect from the Reverend to the horse & carriage. A family member told me that this was the best funeral they had been to. I could not recommend them enough.
    Thank you Rouse and Co

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Louisa
    for your lovely words
  • 5 Lynn Lucas 18th Apr 2024

    From the first meeting with Mark at Rouse in the week prior to my husband's passing I knew that I had made the right choice, the kindness and compassion shown to myself and my boys when their dad died has been second to none, Mark and his family team are without doubt the best choice I made from our first meet then Mark collecting Alan in the early hours of a Sunday morning right through to the funeral earlier this week their professionalism and compassion I am sure could not be bettered.
    I thank them all from the bottom of my heart for their service during an awful time for the family and cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone going through the same, it is the small attention to detail as well as the service that makes the whole process bearable.
    If you are looking for a professional and caring funeral director look no further than Mark at Rouse and Co in Forestdale, Selsdon
