Nicola Street 5th May 2023

Christian very kindly came to my brothers house to plan mu Uncles funeral and from the moment i met him, his professionalism, warm and friendly personality and expertise was a great comfort and reassurance the whole experience was seamless. Everything I asked for I got, it was a beautiful service and a perfect ending to my Uncles life. Thank you and well done.

Kathy Wood 5th May 2023

Totally professional and yet they showed a deep understanding of all of the feelings that I was dealing with and could not have been kinder. They understood how important it was for me to get it right. All of the staff were so supportive. Thank you

Jane Marsh 5th May 2023

Rosedales provided a first class service from start to finish. The communication and help  in the planning of the funeral was excellent at a very difficult time.
