Faith Ames at Rosedale Halesworth is amazing. At the most difficult traumatic time , she was so empathetic and showed such compassion to our family. Helping us through every step of the way and helping us all with options and possibilities without pressuring to make decisions instantly. She took control in making it as stress free as possible. We as a family can’t thank Faith and all the staff at Rosedale enough for their sensitivity and kindness at a very dark time. Rosedale handled everything with kindness, all the staff were amazing and totally professional in every single way. We totally recommend them , they are very clearly a family business which makes all the difference and they treat your loved one like their own. Losing someone you love so much is so painful and Rosedale helped make it more bearable. Thankyou

  • 5 Sarah Coleman 25th Aug 2025

    Rosedale are a truly wonderful funeral home. From the first call/meeting with Faith (and her bereavement dog, Simba) in Halesworth I knew we would be in very safe hands. Their kindness, calmness and expertise made such a hard time so much easier to navigate. They really were with me every step of the way making suggestions and recommendations as they took the time to truly understand the kind of day I wanted my dear Mum to have. On the day itself, the reassurance, dignity and care shown to me and my family was so very special, with Keven and the team ensuring that everything was done with professionalism but also gentleness.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Sarah, thank you for such a lovely heartfelt review, which has been passed on to the team and Simba. We are so pleased that you felt you were in safe hands and we were able to help you navigate your sad loss. Mum's service was beautiful, and I'm glad we met your expectations. We hope the day gave you some comfort. Take care, and best wishes, Faith, Keven, Simba and all the team.
