  • 5 Clare Green 27th Sep 2024

    I, rather nervously, turned to Rouse when our local Funeral Director found that they could not manage the date we wanted. But I needn't have been. Mark & his staff were brilliant - friendly, kind, caring & professional.

  • 5 Aanzi Albert 22nd Sep 2024

    Mark went above and beyond for our father’s funeral.
    Funerals are a very stressful time for the family, if done well it make an impact on how they grieve. Mark made the process seamless for us, and was patient & accommodating when we needed adjustments to be made.
    We cannot recommend the family at Rouse &co enough and thank them enough for how much they helped us give my dad the send off he deserved. 

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you so much Aanzi.

  • 5 Robert Pendry 24th Aug 2024

    Incredible people who provide a first class service and being family run makes the service they provide feel so personal.
    We had a few issues on the day of the funeral as we had so many more people than expected. Rouse and Co sorted out the issues that arose with no fuss and remarkable speed. They delt with everything leading up to the day. All of that meant the day passed as best as it could as I didn’t have to worry about any details. I could truly focus on my difficult day.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Rob for the lovely words
  • 5 Annette Pinnell 24th Aug 2024

    My family chose Rouse & Co for my sister's funeral because we were immediately met with kindness and sensitivity from Louise. We were able to trust that my dear sister was being placed into their good and honest care. Every step of the way, options for the service were explained to us and they had all the time and patience needed while we chose music, photographs and flowers for the funeral service.
    On the day of the funeral, all our choices were delivered perfectly. Mark was our excellent, discreet and perfectly presented undertaker who taught our sons to be pall bearers with patience and had kind, gentle words for us all. The limousine we travelled in was in perfect condition and our chauffeur drove with great care and was very helpful, assisting my elderly mum into the car.
    Finally to add that not only was there kindness and efficiency but also value for money.
    Thank you Rouse & Co

    Thank you Annette

    I can't thank Mark, Louise and the team enough for the way they handled my dad's funeral. From start to finish, they were caring, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive. They took care of every detail, making sure the service was exactly what we wanted. Their kindness made a tough time a bit easier, and I’m truly grateful. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a compassionate and reliable funeral director.

    Thank you David

  • 5 Lee Murnin 17th Jun 2024

    Absolute 1st class service from the entire team at Rouse & Co, from the initial out of hours phone call with Mark right up until we parted at the end of the service. The entire process felt very personal and the attention to detail was exceptional. Friends and family have also commented on how beautiful the service was. We cannot thank you enough for making this sad day so special for my Dad and his family and friends. I would readily use Rouse & Co again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a funeral director. Lee

    Thank you Lee
