We were treated sympathetically from the beginning to the end. It took a while for the medical examiner to get in touch and Rosedale were able to advise us on who to chase. The Christmas holidays held everything up but once we had our appointment we were able to arrange our mother's cremation within 9 days. It was dealt with in a friendly and professional manner. We were very grateful.

  • 5 Shayne Murray 2nd Dec 2024

    Charmaine was fantastic from start to finish. Began with being very welcoming at such a sudden bereavement, spoke clearly about every element of the cremation and what rosedales offer. The support was first class at every point, always in contact if I was ok, and if each step was in place successfully to my needs/requirements. Every section of cost was broken down so I knew everything that was expected. When the sad day came m, again Charmaine was amazing, from me meeting her at rosedales, to right at the end of the service. She done everything perfectly. I really couldn’t recommend rosedales and Charmaine enough. 
    Again thank you so much and looking after me. 
    Shayne Murray 

    Kerry Welch replied
    Dear Shayne, Thank you for your really kind review. I'm pleased to hear that you felt supported throughout the funeral arrangements. Kind regards, Charmaine.

    I just want to thank everyone involved with my husband Johns funeral.
    My family were very impressed with the kindness and support that you gave them and me.
    You were so helpful with how we wanted the service to be with John being Greek especially, the Website so that the relations in Greece could also be involved. And of course ours sons and Grandchildren could also participate with saying goodbye to their Father and Grandad.
    Everyone who attended have said how lovely everything was and John could not have had a better farewell! Thankyou again Rosedale
