    Visited my father this morning to say a final goodbye. It said that the room he was in was within the quiet area. It was anything but that. Whether there was building work going on, I don't know, but loud voices, banging and loud music were not acceptable. I would have complained at the premises but my dad's partner insisted I didn't. More consideration should be shown in such circumstances.
    Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and please accept our sincerest apologies for the distress caused during your visit to say goodbye to your father. We are deeply sorry that the environment was not as peaceful and respectful as it should have been. A quiet, calm setting is something we consider essential at such a sensitive time, and we regret that this was not your experience. We take your comments very seriously and will be investigating what occurred on that day, including whether there was any nearby activity that may have disrupted the quiet area. Please know that your feedback will be used to ensure better care and consideration is shown in the future. If you would be willing, we would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly to offer our personal apologies and better understand the details. You can contact us on 020 8684 1667. Once again, we are truly sorry for any additional upset caused at such an emotional time, and we extend our deepest condolences to you and your family. Mark Spooner Operations Director

    Faultless service at a difficult time. They asked what I wanted, I told them, and they made it happen -- seamlessly, with dignity and respect at every stage.

    From the moment I walked through the door, Jan could not have made me feel most welcome, her empathy, kindness and support was second to none and still to this day, she has been helping me through the 'minefield' of losing my husband so unexpectedly. I couldn't have asked for more. From the initial meeting to the day of the Funeral, Rowland Bros Purley as a team, made the whole experience stress free and the genuine sympathy shown to both myself and the family has been exceptional, and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you!
    Response from the owner:Dear Ali, Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. We are truly sorry for your loss, and it means a great deal to us that you felt supported and cared for during such a difficult time. I am deeply touched by your appreciation— compassion and dedication are at the heart of everything we do, and i am glad i could be a steady source of comfort for you. I am also grateful you felt the support of our entire team at Rowland Bros Purley. Making this process as stress-free and respectful as possible is always our goal, and knowing we were able to help brings us comfort too. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything further. We're always here for you. kind regards Jan Neeson Purley Branch Manager

    Papa T.
    We used Rowland Brothers for the funeral of my dad earlier in the month. Most of the contact was done by sister. Who said they were excellent. My dad had a final request, that his last journey was in a Bentley.

    Rowland Brothers didn’t have this car, but they searched around and kindly found one in Shropshire to grant my dad’s final journey.

    They arrived on time, the cars and team were immaculate. They allowed us to touch the coffin and check everything was ok. The cars were very comfortable and they took a route and stopped out side my parents 47 years.

    Would fully recommend them at a time of sorrow
