Sometimes the greatest comfort comes from simply
walking alongside someone who understands.

Our bereavement walks, led by Justine through the The Rowland Brothers Foundation, offer a safe and supportive environment for those navigating grief.

They provide an opportunity to connect with others, enjoy gentle conversation and spend time outdoors, knowing you are not alone.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces on future walks.

When a loved one passes away abroad, or wishes to be laid to rest in another country, the process can feel overwhelming.

In this video, Fiona, Operations Director at Rowland Brothers

Every repatriation is different, with timelines depending on local regulations, government procedures, documentation, insurance and the country involved. That’s why our experienced team works closely with trusted funeral directors around the world to ensure the process is handled with care and professionalism.

With a global network and multilingual team, Rowland Brothers
International takes the pressure off families, providing guidance, clear communication and support every step of the way.

A meaningful farewell is one that reflects the life, character and passions of the person being remembered.

For some families, that means incorporating personal touches that hold special significance. In this case, a convoy of double-decker buses formed part of the funeral procession, creating a tribute that celebrated a lifelong connection and honoured cherished memories.

At Rowland Brothers, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to saying goodbye. We work closely with every family to create a service that is personal, thoughtful and a true reflection of their loved one’s life.

For generations, families have placed their trust in Rowland Brothers during some of life’s most difficult moments. We are honoured to continue serving our communities with integrity, respect and professionalism, upholding the standards that every family should be able to expect from their funeral director.
