Her kindness and friendship will stay with us and we thoroughly recommend Rosedales for anyone in these difficult circumstances

  • 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.

    At a very difficult time, Faith at Rosedale Halesworth was extremely helpful and compassionate in guiding us through the funeral arrangements for the 2 funerals of our relatives who died within a short time of each other. The whole Rosedale team was very professional and acted with care and dignity throughout. We are very grateful for all their support.

Nothing has been too much trouble and we have been made to feel at ease and that our son was in the very best hands at all times.

  • 5 Richard Humphries 10th Apr 2025

    I honestly cannot praise Rosedale Funeral Home highly enough. When they came to collect my mum, they were brilliant. Faith @ Halesworth could not do enough for us. She made what is a very hard time so easy and is wonderful at her job. Steve, who was one of the gents who collected my mum, was also the Funeral Director on the day, and again he made what is a very hard day go without any drama and made it much easier.

    From the bottom of my heart I cannot thank the whole team at Rosedale who were involved with my mums funeral enough. Thank you xx

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Richard, we are so happy that everything met your expectations and thank you once again for choosing Rosedale to look after your dear mum, and for allowing our team to support you at this sad time. Best Wishes, Faith, Steve and team.
  • 5 Denis Hunt 10th Apr 2025

    Kindest Regards,
    Denis Hunt

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Denis, thank you so much for your kind words, it was an absolute honour to help you bring your mum's wishes to fruition and give her the send off she deserved. Kindest Regards, Faith
