Serving the Community Since 1873

Rowland Brothers, funeral directors Croydon, have helped bereaved families as undertakers in Croydon and South London since 1873. Still very much a family firm, we’re proud to serve clients from every religious denomination and ethnic group. We have worked closely with many families in the Croydon community helping them through the most difficult time in our lives and our 150-year connection with the area makes us an active member of the community.

A Funeral with Respect

As Funeral Directors Croydon for more than 150 years, we want to help you organise a funeral that lets you remember your loved one with dignity and with respect. We believe that the funeral is a vital part of coming to terms with bereavement and that accordingly, the day should be as memorable and meaningful as possible. We encourage the importance of making a funeral personal and unique to your loved one, to help your family and friends share memories and make the ceremony even more special to you.

    From the moment we met Tracy at Rowland Brothers, we felt completely at ease. Saying goodbye to a much-loved and deeply cherished person is an emotional and difficult time, but Tracy's kindness, warmth and reassurance made such a difference throughout the entire process. Tracy guided us through every step with compassion, patience and professionalism. Nothing ever felt rushed, and she always took the time to answer our questions and explain everything clearly. Her calm and caring manner gave us complete confidence from the very beginning. We had no hesitation whatsoever in entrusting our loved one into the care of Rowland Brothers, knowing they would be treated with the utmost dignity, respect and compassion. Throughout the process, we felt supported, listened to and genuinely cared for. Tracy made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable, and her attention to detail helped ensure everything was arranged exactly as we wished. The funeral itself was beautifully organised and a fitting tribute. We are deeply grateful to Tracy and the entire team at Rowland Brothers for their outstanding care and support during such a difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend Rowland Brothers to anyone looking for a funeral director who combines professionalism with genuine compassion.
