Rouse & Co. Independent Funeral Directors

5 Kate Nicol 13th Jan 2024

Mark Rouse and Co. Were exceptional from the beginning helping us choose what type of funeral and guiding us all the way through.  Time that is already difficult was made that little bit easier. Thank you. 

5 Vernon Wright 9th Jan 2024

Simply put: Rouse & Co, through the assistance provided by their staff (principally, Louise and Mark ) ensured that from the commencement to completion of funerary arrangements, a seamless first class service was provided!

I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

From the very first phone call Mark and Louise have been nothing short of amazing. They made the whole process so bearable, nothing was too much for them. They are caring and understanding. They dealt with the passing of my father with respect and care at all times. If you have lost a loved one trust and believe that you will be in great hands with Mark and Louise. Thank you for making my dad's send off go smoothly.

They are Amazing, at such an emotional time for the family I didn’t have to worry about anything. They looked after my mum like she was their own. They are all amazing. 

5 Sue Brewer 15th Dec 2023

We received an excellent service from Mark and Louise for my father’s funeral recently. We did not hesitate in using their services again, as they arranged the funeral for my mother almost 3 years ago. On both occasions they were kind, caring and gave great guidance along the way at a very upsetting time. We would highly recommend Rouse and Co. 

5 Richard Fountain 10th Dec 2023

The team were simply amazing. So very compassionate and understanding. They all work towards making what is an extremely difficult and emotional time a little easier.

I would highly recommend this company and would personally like to thank Mark and all the team for everything they did for me & my late Dad.

Thank you to Rouse and Co for being wonderful and sensitive funeral directors. They did a stellar job of handling my late mother's funeral. I would not hesitate to reccommend them to anyone who wishes to deal with a professional company who lends a personal, kind and thoughtful touch to the process.

5 Joanne Simmonds 24th Nov 2023

Excellent service.  Mark and his team went above and beyond expectations to make a very hard time perfect.

5 Sarita Ferns 21st Nov 2023

Rouse & Co were amazing. They did a fantastic job. Their customer services are excellent. They do go that extra mile for you. Would highly recommend their services.

5 Matthew Childs 13th Nov 2023

Rouse and Co provided the most beautiful day we could have possibly imagined for Nan. Everything was organised meticulously, from the service to the celebrant and the flowers. They were so supportive throughout - nothing was too much trouble, and had an amazing personal touch which can only be achieved by being a small independent director. Thank you so much!

5 Mrs Sue 8th Nov 2023

I personally found Mark’s comforting voice from the off-set (on our first call) very soothing and reassuring!

His compassion and the  knowledge he imparted from our first call was priceless given we were in shock, turmoil and disbelief at the sudden passing of our dear brother; it really made a difference!

And mark didnt disappoint on meeting him as you really get a sense of Mark’s genuine compassion; he really cares and isn’t just about “the job” as every interaction with me thereafter was given with due care and empathy making sure I was comfortable and my needs were met every step of the way!

Thank you Mark 🙏🏽❤️

5 Jacqui Thorley 3rd Nov 2023

From Louise taking my brother's initial enquiry, to the excellent planning on the day of the funeral,I cannot fault Rouse and would highly recommend them.

5 Lee Dipple 2nd Nov 2023

my mum's funeral was very recent and due to the circumstances of my mum's death, it wasn't what you call normal. As soon as I walked in and spoke to louise I knew straight away I was in the right funeral directors. The whole team are not only amazing and totally professional but they went above and beyond to help me and husband with our grief. Louise made the process as easy and stress free as she possibly could, i cannot thank her enough.
I also would like to mention a very big thank you to Katie, she was our celebrant and was  appointed to us by Louise. 
Thank you Sara & Lee.

5 Paul Stark 26th Oct 2023

Highly recommended. Very professional and provided the service we required at a price well below the established big companies.

5 Andrew Narouz 23rd Oct 2023

Mark and his team were very professional, competent, and compassionate during this time for our family. We appreciate them and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

5 Shannon Turbett 15th Oct 2023

When losing a loved one, a funeral is a sense of closure and can feel like the hardest thing to plan. Rouse & Co were the most caring, hassle free company to work with. Being recommended we had high expectations and they surpassed. They guided us through the process and gave us time to grieve putting no pressure on us. The funeral was exactly what we had imagined and every idea we had they made possible. Gave us a beautiful send off and cared for us every step of the way. Special mention for Louise & Mark for being there for us more then funeral directors but like family.

Highly recommend

5 Victoria Hughes 14th Oct 2023

I would highly recommend Rouse & Co, Louise and Mark were fantastic! So kind and caring and looked after my dad very well and always on hand to answer any questions we had. For us to come and see dad most days was not an issue with them either. Thank you very much!

5 Mr Carsten Olliver 14th Oct 2023

I don't think I need to add anything to the email I sent to Rouse & Co after the funeral:

" I’d like to express both Mum’s and my thanks for the care and attention we’ve received over the last few weeks - from when you collected Dad to the final goodbye yesterday, we couldn’t have asked for more."

If I need to use a funeral director again I'll use Rouse & Co.

5 Sue East 2nd Oct 2023

Rouse and Co were excellent. They were kind and caring and nothing was to much trouble. They guided me through every aspect of my mother's last journey, arranging everything for me.
I will always be grateful to them for making this time a little easier.

5 Derek Newton 25th Sep 2023

I found the services of Rouse & Co to be very professional, respectful, understanding and considerate at a time when that is exactly what is called for. I would certainly highly recommend them.

5 Sally Newton 21st Sep 2023

Mark and Louise were wonderfully respectful and handled all the arrangements in the most dignified and charming way. The whole experience was made so much easier and bearable because of this. The whole family would highly recommend Rouse and Co.

5 Lisa Venter 16th Sep 2023

Rouse and Co are a friendly, caring and efficient company that look after you from start to finish. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

5 Wendy LeRiche 4th Sep 2023

Rouse and Co have been a delight to work with. They have given time and care to address concerns. My whole family have felt mum couldn’t of been handled with better care than mark and Louise and team.
Thank you all so kindly. 

5 Ruth Ogier 18th Aug 2023

Louise and Mark were exceptionally caring, considerate and as a family we felt hugely supported by them. They handled all the arrangements with sensitivity and gave us information to help us make decisions without us feeling overwhelmed by the arrangements. We wanted our father's funeral to be in Yorkshire and they arranged all of that for us with care and professionalism at a difficult time.

5 Lauren Buzwell 11th Aug 2023

Rouse and co provided an outstanding service. All staff were approachable and knowledgeable and it was clear that their main aim was to ensure that they supported us to plan a funeral that was truly bespoke without trying to persuade us to make costly choices. Their communication was excellent and they answered all of our questions promptly, either on the phone or via email and gave us ideas and suggestions which made the funeral absolutely beautiful. Each and every one of the staff were so kind and helpful and there was no pressure to make decisions quickly and they ensured they worked at our pace, which is exactly what we needed when planning such an emotionally difficult event. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them and they were flexible when we changed our mind about certain aspects of the funeral. I really couldn’t recommend them enough and we are so grateful we chose them to direct the funeral for our mum, it was simply perfect in every single way.
