How fast does time fly away

🌟Celebrating 6 Years of Rowland & Foulkes Family Funeral Services 🌟

Yesterday marked a very special milestone for us here at Rowland & Foulkes Family Funeral Services, our 6th year anniversary.

From the very beginning, our mission has been to provide bespoke, compassionate, personal, and dignified care to the families we serve.

We are truly grateful for the trust and support from all. Every family we have had the privilege to support has played a part in our journey, and we are honoured to have walked alongside you during some of life’s most difficult moments.

Thanks must go to our families and team who work tirelessly around the clock to ensure the highest of standards are upheld at all times.

Here’s to continuing our commitment to care, compassion, and dignity for many more years to come.

From the bottom of our hearts thank you John, Darren and our family’s ❤️🎩 🕊️

Beneath the sky, where poppies fall,
We pause today — we remember all.
The brave, the kind, the loved, the gone,
Their spirit shines, forever on.

Through fields once torn by grief and flame,
We softly whisper each dear name.
Their courage lives where red blooms grow,
A symbol of the love we know.

No time can dim, no storm can part,
The memory kept in every heart.
Their peace hard won, their journey set,

Lest we forget.
