Mark at Rouse and co provided an excellent professional and personal service. He was recommended by a friend and I can see why. My dad’s funeral was a lovely tribute to him and much thanks goes to Rouse and Co.

Tina Andy 9th Apr 2021

From start to finish Mark was always on hand to help with anything, no matter how small. What was a very difficult time was made all the more easier knowing that he was always there to help. Wonderful customer service. I would highly recommend them if you should ever be in such a sad situation.

    Mark & Co were amazing, they went above and beyond, done everything we had asked and more. Even though it was a sad time, they made you feel at ease.  When we visited our family member in the chapel of rest she looked beautiful. The lady that Mark put us onto for the service Grace was amazing too, she was very calm and it was such a lovely service.  Would 100% recommend Rouse & Co and would use them again. Family and friends commented on how lovely everything was.  Thank you Rouse & Co you were all amazing.  We were very happy with the service you provided for us, from the 1st phone call, leading up to the funeral and on the day. 
    Thank you once again

    Thank you Tracy.

  • 5 Princess Roberts 5th Mar 2021

    I have chosen my 5* rating for this establishment based on the professionalism and empathy given at my time of my lost. From my initial contact, to the organising and support given was a cut above the rest. I have never had so much care and positive regards given in such a short space of time. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone that wants a stress free process surrounding a death.

    This establishment is a must to contact if from South London.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Princess.

    Rouse and Company have been extremely helpful throughout the whole process, and this has been greatly appreciated by the whole family.

    Nothing has been too much trouble, and the team have responded quickly to every question

    Mark, you guided me through every step when arranging my mum’s funeral during such a distressing time.  Every idea or request I had was welcomed, and granted.  Mum’s funeral was perfect.  I have received so many messages since the day saying just how wonderful the funeral and service was.  Also thanks to Grace, the celebrant, who carried out the service as requested expertly and with such warmth, just like she was part of our family.  One last thing, thank you for taking care of my darling mum xx

    Thank you Anita.

    A sincere vote of thanks from the Towfiq family to Mark who administered the funeral of Sinan. The funeral was managed efficiently sensitively and very professionally from start to finish. We could not have wished for a better service than we received from this company. I recommend them highly.

  • 5 Tracey Pink 15th Jan 2021

    Mark and the team looked after us recently for my dad funeral.

    They were transparent with prices and we paid exactly what we expected. Communication with them was easy and timely. Getting back to us very promptly when we reached out and preventively when required.

    They choose a celebrant, Grace, for us who could not have a better person to help us celebrate my dad’s life.

    I genuinely couldn’t recommend them higher and thank them all.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Tracey.

    Mark at Rouse and Co. dealt with everything for us without any fuss and with clear information and instructions. He asked questions in a respectful way, understanding our distress. Even though we had little time to organise everything it certainly didn't feel like he was rushing us. He was respectful, kind and understanding, and I was pleased with how everything went.
