Our mother’s funeral was organised beautifully and professionally by Courtney and David. Everything went according to plan which meant we could concentrate solely on saying a final goodbye to our lovely Mum.

We used the Warlingham branch of Rowland brothers in June 2026 for our Mums funeral. From the moment we first called them after our Mums passing they were always so kind and helpful. Courtney made the whole funeral planning process very easy in what was a very difficult time. David and all his team at Rowland brothers helped give my Mum the best celebration of life at Botley hill farm with whom they have a partnership with, the location was perfect for our Mums day and everything went perfectly as did her cremation service at Beckenham crematorium a couple of days later. If you unfortunately need to use the services of a funeral directors I would highly recommend Warlingham Rowland Brothers

The level of care and compassion from Rowland Brothers has been nothing short of astounding from the moment I initially called them through to beyond my husband’s funeral. The pink hearse was just the perfect touch and Matt would be laughing his socks off! There are no words to truly express my gratitude to the team. With thanks, Louise Benn
