    Dear John and Jenny, thank you so much for your kind words which will be passed to all our team. I was so sad to hear that Doreen had passed so soon after her dear husband Eric, however, I know you are both comforted by knowing that they are now reunited.

    From the time that Sheila was collected everything and everyone were so dignified and respectful. We were all very grateful for the support that all the staff gave us at this time.
    The staff at the care home were also impressed by Kevin Jacob who after collecting Sheila walked in front of the vehicle to the road. They had not seen this happen before with other Funeral Services.
    Once again a big thank you to you all.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Carole, I am so glad you felt supported throughout the arrangements. I will pass your kind words on to Keven and the whole team. Kindest Regards, Faith.

  • 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.

    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

  • 5 John Baker 27th Mar 2025

    Fiona and Faith at Rosedale’s went out of their way to make sure the whole process of arranging the funeral of my mother to be as simple as possible and stress free.  They listened to my preferences and just took everything onboard.  They provided contact details of organisations who are there to help, which I found most useful and actually went on to organise a fixed price Probate service, which was also brilliant!  I would also say that they provided us with a top rate celebrant for the service, she was superb.   I would, without hesitation, recommend Rosedales.  

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear John, on both mine and Fiona's behalf, thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are delighted that we were able to help and offer additional assistance where we could, we are pleased all was how you wished it to be for your dear mum. Kindest Regards, Faith and Fiona
