    I would highly recommend Beddington Rowland Brothers. They made the difficult time of organising my Mum's funeral as bearable as it could be. They were professional, tactful and kept me informed throughout the process. Finally i would like to extend a special thank you to Charlee our Funeral Arranger and John who looked after us on the day.
    Response from the owner:Dear Simon, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review. We’re truly sorry for your loss, and it means a great deal to us to know that we were able to offer some comfort and support during such a difficult time. We’re pleased to hear that you felt well cared for throughout the process. Charlee and the team will be deeply touched by your kind words, we’ll be sure to pass them on. If there’s ever anything more we can do for you or your family, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you Kind Regards John Rule Branch Manager

    We received excellent care throughout the process of my mother’s death and funeral and I’m more than happy to recommend the team at Rowlands in West Wickham.
    We had wished to use their previous incarnation, Killicks as we did for my father in 2014 and were delighted to find that Peter’s son is still heavily involved in this team. We wanted the personal touch of a small family business rather than a large company and we definitely got this right up to support on the day, having decided to lead the funeral ourselves. Huge thanks you to Kate Tracy David Adam and everyone we met and interacted with.
    Response from the owner:Dear S Vanderzee, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. It means a great deal to all of us at Rowlands in West Wickham. We are truly honoured that you entrusted us with caring for your mother and supporting your family during such an important and emotional time. It’s especially touching to hear that your experience with Killicks in 2014 stayed with you and that i was able to continue that experience that brought you comfort. As a family-run team, providing a personal, compassionate service is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re glad this was felt throughout your mother’s arrangements and on the day itself. Myself, Kate, Tracy, David, and everyone involved will be deeply moved by your kind words. Supporting you as you chose to lead the funeral yourselves was a privilege, and we’re grateful that our team could help make the day exactly as you wished. Thank you again for your trust and for recommending us so warmly. We send our sincere condolences to you and your family. Kind Regards Adam Killick Branch Manager

    Funerals are always an unexpected occasion, but they are an unavoidable thing, and they can be stressful. Howe and the Rowland brothers have been a great support throughout the funeral planning process. They communicated with us throughout the process, and the professionalism on the day ensured everything went smoothly.
    Response from the owner:Dear Jessey, Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share these kind words. We know how difficult and stressful planning a funeral can be, and it means a great deal to us that we were able to offer support and comfort during such a hard time. We at Rowland Brothers are truly dedicated to guiding families with care, and we’re grateful you felt supported throughout the process. We appreciate your trust in us and are glad to know everything went smoothly on the day. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can be of any help in the future. Thank you Kind Regards John Rule Branch Manager

    Rowland Brothers in Purley have supported my family with the funeral for my Dad and more recently with my Mum.
    During a time of devastation and heartbreak, they have taken care of everything and have shown compassion, support and empathy throughout all communications. They have kept me up to date and everything to date has run smoothly.
    I would recommend Rowland Brothers to others for making funeral arrangements.

    Thank you so much.

    Sue S.
    Rowland Brothers were recommended to us and I’m so glad they were. We used there Coulsdon branch and Judi who looked after us was so kind at what was a very emotional time having to arrange my dear mums funeral. Nothing was to much trouble and she guided us through what was needed and little suggestions to make it special. The recommendation of Karen as our celebrant was perfect.On the actual day of the funeral I received a phone call from the undertaker explaining what would be happening. From end to end a first class service and experience. Thank you to everyone involved. Sue, Tim and family
    Response from the owner:Dear Sue, Thank you so much, Sue, Tim, and family, for your kind and thoughtful words. We’re so pleased to hear that Judi and the Coulsdon team were able to support you with care and understanding during such an emotional time. It’s wonderful to know that Karen’s involvement helped make the service special and meaningful for your mum. Your appreciation means a great deal to all of us at Rowland Brothers, and we’ll be sure to share your lovely comments with everyone involved. Kind Regards David Collins Area Manager
    Tan T.
    I couldn't have asked for anyone better than Rowland Brothers to deal with my dad's funeral arrangements. Right from the day of his death to the day of his cremation, they guided me through every step of this unfamiliar process. David Webb and his team were a pleasure to deal with and they helped me provide a dignified and memorable send off for my father, for which I am forever grateful.
    Response from the owner:Dear Tan, Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re truly honoured to have been able to support you in arranging your father’s funeral and to know that David and the team helped make the process a little easier during such a difficult time. It means a great deal to hear that their care and guidance contributed to a dignified and memorable farewell as this is what we pride ourselves on. I’ll be sure to share your appreciation with the team and everyone involved. Kind Regards Joe Rowland Director
