From the very first phone call with Louise, I knew Rouse and Co would be who we went with to help plan mums goodbye.  Both Louise and Mark have been a great support and so easy to plan with, I highly recommend them to anyone who has lost a loved one xxxxx

  • 5 Paul Funnell 2nd Apr 2023

    Rouse and Co stepped in when we were informed it would take over 2 months to arrange our mothers funeral with her original funeral plan provider.  
    We were so impressed from start to finish with their very personal and  professional approach.  Nothing was too much trouble and we would highly recommend them.  

    Mark Rouse replied
    Many thanks Paul, it was our pleasure to be of help.
  • 4 Gloria Matlock 27th Mar 2023

    Mark and Louise were brilliant from the time I called overnight on a Sunday to tell them my uncle had passed away, giving advice on what to do as he was living out of their area and staying in touch, until he was able to be collected.

    A funeral plan was in place, however they arranged flowers and the extras we wanted, and the day of the funeral was very well thought out with an excellent service from them and all their employees. They answered all our questions and have endless patience. Highly recommend. Thank you both so much.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you so much Gloria.

  • 5 Colin Lewis 7th Mar 2023

    Louise and Mark helped my family with the most difficult period of anyone's life.
    They were exceptionally kind and understanding. They offered my family hundreds
    of pounds of services, free of charge. They provided at no cost services that our hospital could not. They cared for our loved one, and we will
    forever be grateful to both of them for what they did for us. Thank you Louise and Mark, from Colin Lewis and family.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank You Colin

  • 5 Liz Goumas 28th Jan 2023

    Mark Rouse went above and beyond what I expected, to try to expedite the Coroner's report, to enable the funeral of the deceased.
    He was also very helpful in the other arrangements, with the burial, liaising with the Rabbi and printers

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Liz.
  • 5 Stewart Welsh 27th Jan 2023

    Mark and Louise were both extremely kind and helpful throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble even finding the music for a last minute change. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Rouse & Co.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Stewart for your kind words
  • 5 Martin Reddie 24th Jan 2023

    No words can describe the care and professionalism Mark and his team put into my mum's funeral .
    So much so that Mark made us feel as though he was a friend rather than a funeral director.
    We had previously used Rouse and Co for my late father in laws funeral so had no hesitation when my mum passed as to who to call to arrange her funeral.
    From retrieving the body to the last goodbye every single detail was exemplary, and left us with virtually nothing to do in the whole process.
    I genuinely wouldn't go anywhere else in the future when the need arises.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Martin for your kind words
  • 5 Steve Dangerfield 24th Jan 2023

  • 5 Sarah Mayne 15th Jan 2023

    I was recommended to Rouse & Co by a friend of mine and they were fantastic. Mark and Louise were absolutely lovely and they could not do enough to make sure all our wishes were taken in to account. I would highly recommend this independent company because you surely do get the best service and personal touch.
