The care and compassion that you all have shown us during this difficult time are beyond words. Although it is nearly impossible to fully express how my family feels, I will do my best to convey our heartfelt gratitude.
From the very first meeting, Rhys, your kindness and understanding in light of the tragic circumstances surrounding my father's passing were truly remarkable. Your empathy made an incredibly tough situation a little easier to bear.
On the day of the funeral, the respect that Keith and his team demonstrated towards my father was nothing short of outstanding. The dignity and respect with which everything was handled did not go unnoticed, and it brought us much comfort during such a sad time.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support and the exemplary service you provided. Your kindness and professionalism will forever be remembered.
Michelle Canwell replied

I don’t often leave reviews for companies I deal with, but felt I had to let people know all about the service I have received from Rosedale Funeral Home
.
I have had the unfortunate experience to use Rosedale Funeral Home twice in 2 years. The service has been excellent in both cases. The care they took of me and all details I requested were carried out so well.
I cannot thank them enough.
Rita.
