    I cannot recommend Rouse & Co. highly enough. Its always a bit difficult to choose a funeral director as most of us have limited experience and tend to stick with names we know, so I thought I was taking a bit of a chance opting for a local independent, but I was so impressed. Mark is both professional and kind and was truly dedicated to providing the best service and making it the best experience for me, and all at a very reasonable cost. In difficult times you want a professional to guide you through the steps and provide a personal service and this is exactly what Mark does. I highly recommend Rouse & Co.

    Thank you Virginia

    Rouse & Co came recommended from the hospital where my father passed away.

    Mark made an instant connection with the us and provided a fantastic service to our family.  

    His priorities truly are the family members and helping you through a difficult time, making any agreed arrangements just happen seamlessly.

    He often went beyond the call of duty providing a lot of flexibility - cannot express my thanks to him during our difficult time.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Niemesh

  • 5 Lynne Woodburn 29th Apr 2019

    Dealing with funeral arrangements from 250 miles away seemed a daunting task but as soon as I spoke with Mark I felt confident that it would all be fine. My many emails and phone calls with questions were answered swiftly, efficiently and with great empathy and meeting Mark and his team on the day confirmed that dealing with an independent was far more personal than with a large chain.

    Thank you Mark for all your help, right up until the ashes were scattered last week.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Lynne

    I could not have asked for anymore love and care than mark and co showed us. He took care of my mum when I couldn’t due to having a baby just after losing my dad. 
    Nothing was ever too much trouble not even when I needed help to reach in and give my dad a kiss goodbye. I will always be eternally grateful. I recommend highly if you want your hardest days to be made a little easier with a touch of love and a lot of care. Thank you again mark and Carrie. I will never forget what you did for us. Xxxxx

    Thank you Stacey
