Family-run tradition

Three generations of continual service to the community. We understand that both the wishes of your loved one and the emotions of the bereaved must be addressed with dignity and sympathy.

Our History

We are the only independent, family-owned funeral service in Petersfield. Since 1934, three generations of our family have provided a continuous service to the communities of Hampshire, West Sussex and beyond.

The company was established in 1934 by Percy Vincent, in partnership with his father-in-law William Rowland, originally as a department of Rowland, Son and Vincent, 'The complete house furnishers.' In 2004, after 122 years of trading, the furnishings part of the company closed but the funeral business continued under the founder's name.

Our founding philosophy, that every client will be cared for as though they were part of our family, is maintained today by Director Marsha Vincent, the founder's granddaughter, continuing the tradition begun by her aunt Mary Vincent.

Many thanks, the flowers were absolutely beautiful. I did appreciate too the access to the chapel of rest, it is a lovely facility to have. You both gave me great confidence that everything would be taken care of, properly and efficiently.
My family and I would like to say a big thank you for such wonderful service during our difficult time. We feel that you went above and beyond your duty as a funeral director.
We would like to express our sincere thanks for the compassion and professionalism you showed whilst our son was in your care. We were treated sympathetically at all times.
I would like to thank you very much for arranging and conducting my mother's funeral. We all appreciated how well everything went, despite us living so far away.
Thank you for the sympathetic and professional way in which you managed my father's funeral. A fitting tribute to an old soldier.
Mr H.
You have always allowed my brother and I to feel in control – we never felt pressurised into accepting something we were not comfortable with.
Mrs R.
