Funeral Directors Croydon

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.

We have funeral directors in Croydon, Purley, Coulsdon, Warlingham, New Addington and Beddington

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.

    My father believed in nothing but perfection, and his funeral was. He would have been so proud and by how much Heather the celebrant had to say about his life. The funeral was perfect and as beautiful.

    Carly (funeral director), John PR (conductor on the day), Heather (celebrant) and the rest of the guys on the day and team in the office were all amazing!

    The service we received from Rowland Brothers was outstanding. From the beginning, their team were friendly, warm, and reassuring. Our director, Simon, guided us through each stage with thoughtful advice and helpful suggestions whenever we were unsure. He was proactive, responsive, and nothing was ever too much trouble. I also appreciated their flexibility, I wanted a bespoke floral coffin spray, and Simon arranged this beautifully with their florists.
    On the day itself, Jan led the proceedings with exceptional dignity and professionalism.
    We are so grateful we chose Rowland Brothers. In a time of grief, you need the burden of organising a funeral to be lifted, and they did exactly that. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

    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.

    The staff at Roland Brothers treated my Dad with the utmost respect, care and dignity right from when he passed away, through to the funeral planning to the actual burial. The team were absolutely amazing, and in particular Chelsey and Carly who were so patient, understanding, knowledgeable and very supportive. Dad’s funeral last week went smoothly and myself and the family were very happy with service we received. I would certainly recommend others to use their services, you will never regret your decision!
