Harshid Patel 17th Sep 2022

Wonderful caring service from our first call to Rouse and Co to our Mothers final cremation service. The whole team at this family independent funeral company went above and beyond to make sure our Hindu customs were adhered to and made sure our mother was shown great care and dignity throughout. The Rouse team stepped in and helped us when we were let down by a National funeral firm. Thank you so much to the whole team at Rouse as you really helped us at this difficult moment.

    Mark and Louise from Rouse and Co were the consummate professional’s. They made what was a very hard time so much more bearable, they showed  our family kindness and understanding throughout. No request was too much . They kept us informed every step of the way. We as a family cannot recommend them highly enough

    Mark and Louise dealt with my mother's funeral arrangements with great sensitivity even when there were a few problems regarding the graveside service Mark went over and above to rectify the issue by finding a Revd at short notice. Nothing was a problem, and there was no need for me to visit them as Mark would travel to my mother’s home to pick up clothes, delivered the order of service booklets and to discuss the funeral arrangements. Nothing was problem, and I was treated with sensitivity and care. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for looking after our mum.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank nyou so much Janice, for the lovely words.

  • 5 Avnish Patel 16th May 2022

    What can I say about Rouse & Co Independent Funeral Directors

    Both Mark and Louise whom we were in regular contact with were so, so understanding and sympathetic.

    In fact, they seem to know how we wanted our dad looked after and were happy for us to see him anytime and numerous times. Plus they knew somehow what our requirements were for the cremation of dad. How we wanted dad to come home, our puja service, the music to be placed at the chapel and our service at the chapel and involvement with the priest. Being Indian and for Rouse & Co being aware of our culture this really helped.

    Thank you Rouse & Co for making our farewell to our dad so stressless and pleasant.

    Kirtash 🙏🏽

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Kirtash.

  • 5 Bernadette Murphy 8th May 2022

    There are simply not the words to express our deepest gratitude you were absolutely amazing 

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Bernadette.
  • 5 Antoinette Ajibose 1st May 2022

    No amount of words are enough to express my gratitude to Mark, Louise and the team.

    Having spoke to three other funeral directors, i knew within the first few minutes that i wanted Mark to take care of my dear sweet dad. Mark said "don't worry, we'll look after Dad" and i knew he would without a doubt.

    Mark has a very calming and reassuring voice; which is so important in times like this. Mark really loves what he does and takes care of our loved one's in such a thoughtful and respectful manner.

    I know my sweet dad was treated with dignity and respect in the care of Rouse & Co. I know my dad would have shook your hand and brought you a drink to say thank.

    Thanks so much for everything. It's a scary and daunting process however; Mark made it feel like he was with me the whole time. All the best, Winston's Daughter, Antoinette. xx

  • 5 Kevin Rees 10th Apr 2022

    Mark Rouse replied
    Many thanks for your kind words Kevin.
  • 5 Daniel Giddy 28th Mar 2022

    Rouse and Co provided an amazing service and compassionate and intimate care of the deceased. Was very helpful and informative which was crucial as was my first time in need of a funeral director.

    I could not conceive of anyone else providing the level of care and diligence shown by Rouse and Co and would very highly recommend their services to any and all I know.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Daniel.
  • 5 Ian Charlton 27th Mar 2022

    Sadly I had to call back on Rouse and Co the same year to deal with my Mums service. I knew with experience from my Brothers service that Mark would take great care of my lovely Mum. He gave us some fantastic ideas of how to make it special even though we had a budget, it was put together beautifully. I cannot praise the service given to us enough. If you care about someone and want a superb send off with care and dignity then just call into this Funeral Directors and find out for yourself like I did. The big company's don't care the same.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Many thanks Ian.
  • 5 Ian Charlton 27th Mar 2022

    My Brother was very special to my Mum. I called in to Rouse and Co and was greeted by a very humble and kind man by the name of Mark. He made everything seem so easy and took everything out of my hands giving me time to deal with my Mum. Mark called regular to clarify things and confirm that all is fine and in place. The service was performed with
    professionalism and dignity. Mark organised the celebrant who was a lovely lady called Grace again she was excellent and came to see us to organise the service.

    Mark Rouse replied
    Thank you Ian.
