Rowley and son were professional and compassionate in dealing with my mum's funeral. The celebrant they recommended, Fiona Brown, was the perfect match to talk about my mum. The whole funeral was very organised. Thank you for helping us give my mum the send off that she so rightly deserved x

  • 5 Craig Butler 17th Oct 2018

    From start to finish Martin, Elizabeth and the rest of the staff were welcoming, professional and nothing was too much trouble. Everything was clearly explained and set out from start to finish which took away any stress or worry that we had about arranging a funeral. Their personal approach to assisting us in dealing with the funeral arrangements was very comforting at such a difficult time. I would certainly recommend Rowley and Sons.
