I simply cannot fault the quality of service that Rowley and Sons gave us in the arrangement of my Mum's funeral. Their care and attention at such a difficult time made the world of difference to my family. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in similar circumstances, they were truly fantastic.

What an amazing company. Having never organised a funeral before every member of staff was so helpful and understanding of our wishes (no matter how strange) it was very straight forward to arrange and the guidance and advice was always on hand when needed. They listened, made you feel at ease and that nothing was any trouble. Any queries they dealt with immediately and our dear friend had the send off he wanted and it was perfect. The fees were not ridiculous either which is always a worry. I would highly recommend Rowley & Sons to everyone as they are a wonderful, professional and caring company.

Rowley and sons we knew were very good because my husband had been recommended to use them for his fathers funeral . I find the family run business very professional , compassionate, and lovely people , and my fathers funeral went very well. They made a difficult day made a bit easier with the way they handled everything from start to finish , thank you very much.
