Thank you so much for everything .
As a newly bereaved family, we valued your kindness, sensitivity and compassion towards us at this sad time.
We really appreciated the time you gave us and the attention to detail which was very important to us .
A special mention to Christian too as nothing was too much trouble. It was so reassuring to meet with the same person each time.
Please pass on our grateful thanks to the publishers for putting together a service sheet exactly how we wanted it. We had some lovely comments from family and friends who said how much they appreciated the memento.
The flowers from the florist were absolutely stunning . Again we had so many positive comments on how beautiful they were. Would definitely recommend them to others.
The whole day went so well , exactly how we wanted it to be so thank you for making a difficult day bearable.
We used Rosedale when our dear mum passed away 14 years ago and they didn't disappoint. Everything was personalised and professional.
We have no hesitation in recommending Rosedale to anyone who needs this service.
Our grateful thanks

I highly recommend Rosedale. Charmaine and all staff understood and gave me everything needed at such a very difficult time. From the moment of contact, I felt cared for and confident I could leave it all in their hands. I had lots of contact all through.

5Catherine Ellingham8th Aug 2025
My husband was very young when he died and the circumstances surrounding his death were very sudden and traumatic. Rosedale treated me with utter kindness, compassion and care, and treated Carl with dignity and respect whilst he was in their care. They made the whole process as straightforward as possible, offered me advice and support at every step of the way, and used careful consideration when selecting a celebrant for me, who understood my position and was able to support me before, during and after the service. Everything was taken care of for me so at Carl’s service I could focus on supporting our children and honouring his memory in the way we wanted. The service was beautiful and I am so grateful to Rosedale for supporting us and helping us through it. I could not have coped without them.
Kerry Welch replied
Dear Catherine, thank you for taking the time to leave such a beautiful and extremely thoughtful review. I know I have responded to you personally already, but your words describe just perfectly everything we strive to achieve for our families at Rosedale. I am really glad to hear that you and your children felt fully supported and cared for throughout all our arrangements for Carl. His service was poignant and emotional, and your personal tribute was truly heart felt. I am pleased to hear that you felt you had the time to be able to honour his memory, and I hope that you all were able to take some comfort from his service. Kind regards and take care, Christian - Rosedale
