— Maureen Hammick (about Jan)
"Both Jan and Simon in the Purley office were perfect communicators and handled the whole process of dealing with the crematorium, the florists and the vicar perfectly. I could not have wished for a better service for my aunt."

This was my first experience with arranging a funeral and I found the staff very supportive and helpful in what was an extremely challenging situation. They were understanding and supportive from the very beginning and I was very grateful and impressed with their willingness to help. I was guided through the process and all the options. I am very happy and that I chose Rowlands Brothers to represent us at this time of grieving.

From the moment I contacted Rowland Brothers to ask them to arrange the funeral of my aunt I found them to be compassionate professional and patient. Nothing was too much bother for them. Both Jan and Simon in the Purley office were perfect communicators and handled the whole process of dealing with the crematorium, the florists and the vicar perfectly. I could not have wished for a better service for my aunt and would recommend Rowland Brothers to anybody requiring the services of a funeral director in the Purley area.

Rowland Brothers in Purley have supported my family with the funeral for my Dad and more recently with my Mum. During a time of devastation and heartbreak, they have taken care of everything and have shown compassion, support and empathy throughout all communications. They have kept me up to date and everything to date has run smoothly. I would recommend Rowland Brothers to others for making funeral arrangements.

Re Carol Anne Paddock Thanks very much to Jan and Simon of your Purley branch. They were so kind and helpful to my myself and my mum during this difficult time. They made everything so easy and uncomplicated at a time when we felt so overwhelmed. The funeral went so beautifully and was everything that Carol would have wanted. I feel sure she enjoyed it from wherever she is now. We cannot thank you enough. Linda Baker and family
