Karen at Rosedale Funeral Home worked with us to put together a funeral for Mum that we felt did her justice. She was kind and sympathetic, and made the whole process stress-free. Communication was excellent and everything was clearly explained. I would highly recommend Rosedale for sensitive and efficient management at a very emotional time.

Janet Hornsey 2nd Sep 2025

Very attentive throughout the process at a very difficult time for us. Nothing was too much trouble to sort. Thank you for everything

Lynda Leesmith 2nd Sep 2025

This was the second time I have used Rosedale and I cannot fault the service I received throughout the process. Everything was explained and even asking for a Saturday cremation service was not too much trouble. The whole day went smoothly and all staff were helpful, polite and had the appropriate degree of friendliness but also formality. Thanks You all.

  • 5 Clare Osborne 16th Aug 2025

    From start to finish Alison and Karen were absolutely fantastic.
    I dealt with Alison over the phone initially asking what I deemed to be silly questions at times but Alison walked me through the whole process and what to expect.
    When myself Clare and the dogs arrived to organise the funeral Karen was amazing. The meeting wasn’t formal and morbid it was upbeat with a few laughs thrown in at the time which was much needed at the time so thankyou so much for that Karen you were great.
    We also got to meet Ben who was looking after Lizzie and he made us feel very confident in the knowledge that he would treat her with dignity and respect.
    The whole service was everything we wanted and we couldn’t fault Rosedale one bit. Thank you so much 

    Alison Storey replied
    What an amazing review, thank you for choosing us, it was a priviledge to look after you both and the doggies.
    Kindest Regards Karen and Alison

  • 5 Paul Weavers 10th Jul 2025

    At such a difficult time when you have just lost someone its hard to know what needs to be done. The team at Rosedale totally looked after me, getting me booked in at a time to suit me to discuss arrangements and sent me things to consider beforehand so I could discuss with family. I felt I was offered a huge range of choices and options that allowed me to define the funeral in the most fitting way but without overwhelm or any hard selling - I literally could have or not have whatever I wanted. On the funeral day, the team looked after me well, communicating arrangements and putting me and my family first. A great job in a difficult circumstance. I have one thing I would like to make a suggestion of which I never thought about at the time and maybe its very strange but afterwards as everything has past and I reflect on that day, it would have been nice to have had a handful of photos taken such as when the coffin was taken past home for the last time, when it was carried into church and set down to begin the service and maybe ahead of the actual burial. Obviously this would have to be at a distance and very quietly done but I feel others may like something to reflect on afterwards too. Thank you for a job very well done with so much respect. Several people commented how fitting it all felt for the celebration of mums life.

    Alison Storey replied
    Dear Paul,
    Thank you so much for your kind words, I will ensure they are passed on to the whole team. It was a priviledge to guide you through the arrangements, and so pleased your expectations were met . I will pass your suggestion to the management team, we have in the past taken photos when asked but it isn't a service we offer at present.

    Kind Regards
    Alison and Karen
  • 5 Barry Leech 30th Jun 2025

    The Rosedale team from start to today has helped us to cope with the challenges of the funeral for our beloved daughter. Explanations were freely given on all our questions which lessened our every concern. Their team at the Crematorium ceremony showed dignity throughout and visibly showed care during the service. Our grateful thanks are given from all the family and friends. 

    Alison Storey replied
    Dear Barry and Sue,
    We are so pleased we were able to bring comfort at such a terribly sad time. It was a priviledge to look after you both and to meet Louise's lovely friends.
    We enjoyed Louise's favourite French Fancies with a coffee, thank you.

  • 5 Joan Smith 27th Jun 2025

    From the moment the Rosedale staff arrived at my parents home to collect my father the respect & reverence they showed him and myself & my mum was awesome. The way Karen took us through the organising of the funeral and their thoughtfulness & care towards us all on the day of the funeral was kindness itself. 

    It made a difficult time for us as smooth as possible and I would certainly use their services again and highly recommend them and their services.

    Thank you so much for such excellent service.

    Alison Storey replied
    Dear Mary,
    It was a pleasure and priviledge to look after mum and yourself. We are so pleased our services met your expectations and everything went well on the day. We will ensure the whole team see your lovely review.

  • 3 Helen Greenhill 23rd Jun 2025


    Firstly, I was shocked and upset to receive an email from the team incorrectly referring to the death of my mother. This was not only distressing, but it also indicated a lack of care and attention to detail at a time when accuracy and sensitivity are essential.


    At the time of collection of my father, we were pushed towards a non-attended cremation. I believe this was due to our perceived financial situation, which is entirely inappropriate especially only hours after my father's passing and not in line with our wishes.

    The original price and process that were quoted to us changed on several occasions without clear explanation. When we sought clarification, the responses we received were blunt and lacked the transparency and compassion that should be expected from a professional funeral provider.

    The day of the funeral went smoothly and I felt the guys on the day did a brilliant job, respectful and kind to us as a family.

    My original review did not go into detail, as I considered it personal but after being harassed to increase the star rating due to "the effect it could have on a small business" and the reply on here I felt more detail was needed so people can decide for themselves if it was fair to give an average review.

    Alison Storey replied
    Apologies our service didn't meet your expectation. As written in our terms and conditions an estimate is an indication of charges likely to be incurred. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy of the charges, they are subject to confirmation and liable to alteration particularly with third party charges.
    This was the case with your invoice, when we received the charges from the Church, we had estimated the fees too high, so the amount on the invoice was lower than the estimate.
    Please be assured that we are organised and are very much in control of all the funeral arrangements we have the honour of looking after.
    We take your comments on board and moving forward strive to meet the 5 star expectation of our families.

    Kindest regards
    Alison
