    Incredible. What was the hardest day of my life - Rowland and Foulkes made the whole experience incredible. Every single thing, from the first thing phone call was spot on. Friendly, loyal and couldn’t do enough to make sure the day was perfect. Not just the day, but checking in on me and after the funeral also, checking in and doing extras. I was fussy, and particular and even that wasn’t too much. Cannot recommend or thank these guys enough. I will always be so grateful and they will hold a special place in my heart. Thankyou. X

My whole family thanks them for their excellent care, from the bottom of our hearts.

    As a family we can’t thank all at Rowland and Foulkes for their professional services enough.
    We visited Alan, our Son in your lovely, calming and modern chapel and he looked at peace.
    The send off we had for Alan was carried out exactly of our wishes and couldn’t ask for anything more.The professionalism of John and his team showed at every stage and he allowed us to give the send off Alan truly deserved.
    We couldn’t recommend John and his team enough and we thank you for everything you have done and we will be forever grateful.

    When I lost my mum in January I was completely lost and didn't have a clue what to do. John & Darren helped guide me through the most difficult time and showed my mum nothing but the upmost respect and dignity. They really are the very best at what they do. They are professional, polite, compassionate and understanding and helped me to plan the best funeral possible for my mum. I really can't thank you both enough. I would recommend Rowland & Folkes in a heartbeat. 

  • 5 Sarah williams 30th Jul 2021

    When I lost my dad I wanted a family run funeral services to deal with my dads send off and had heard of Rowland and foulkes. I contacted them and from the first initial phone call to the day of the service Darren and John were amazing. They put my mind at rest that dad would have the send of he deserved and that is what happened. Everything me and my brother requested was carried out to a very high standard. The communication between them and us was fantastic. The day of the funeral arrived and everything was spot on. I couldn't of wanted any better for my dad. I will now always use Rowland and foulkes funeral services and would one hundred per cent recommend Darren and John to anyone. They really helped me through the toughest time I've had to face, put my mind at ease and give my dad the send off that he truly deserved. Cannot thank them enough.
