Mum moved to a local care home a few years ago and I transferred her funeral plan to Rosedale.
Christian and his team were brilliant, accommodating our choices and giving Mum and ourselves an excellent service.
Thank you, much appreciated

I have nothing but the highest praise for everyone at Rosedale with special thanks to Christian who made a difficult time so much easier to bear. From the initial meeting, follow up phone calls through to being there on the day itself to help and guide I am so very grateful.

Charmaine and her team were all excellent during this difficult time. Charmaine explained everything clearly and showed compassion throughout. She took so much of the stress away as she organised so much prior to the funeral and on the day. We would highly recommend Rosedale.

I cannot thank Christian and his team at Rosedale's enough! From our very first meeting after Mum had sadly passed to the Funeral itself, the compassionate and professional service provided has been second to none!

5James Highland28th Apr 2025
The whole process from start to finish was really very good with lots of communication. We needed a quicker than normal cremation as a family member was leaving to return home to Australia. It was a bit touch and go for a time but Rosedale came through for us and managed the almost impossible.
Would 100pc use again.
Kerry Welch replied
Dear James, Thank you for your kind words. Trying to achieve the funeral before your family member returned to Australia was a challenge, but one we thankfully managed to rise to. Kind regards, Charmaine
5Janet Bow28th Apr 2025
We can highly recommend Rosedale Funeral Home for the compassionate and professional care they provided for the funeral arrangements for our father.
Christian and his team dealt with our mother’s funeral arrangements just five months prior, so we knew they would handle everything again with kindness and sensitivity, making an incredibly difficult time a little easier to bear.
Their thoughtful support gave us peace of mind, we are truly grateful for everything they did.
Kerry Welch replied
Dear Janet,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a glowing review and for your kind words; they really are appreciated by myself and the team here at Rosedale, I will ensure that they are passed onto all concerned. It was a real privilege to be asked to look after your father-in-laws funeral. I am really pleased that all our arrangements met your expectations. It was a really beautiful and fitting service for George, and the Piper- Dave Harper just made it special. I hope that you and your family were able to take some comfort from his service. Kind regards and take care, Christian - Rosedale.

First class service from start to finish.

Rosedales were exemplary in everything they did for us. That was down to Richard and Charmaine especially who went beyond and gave our dear darling son Lewis the perfect send off which made us feel we'd done our best for him. It's a time that was filled with utter sadness and grief but they made sure we were ok every step of the way.
