I cannot thank the team at Rosedale enough for all their help, support and understanding that they have given to my family and I, during a very difficult time. The support the team at the Halesworth office gave us, to help make arrangements for the funeral was invaluable and made the whole process much easier. I cannot express how grateful I am to Rosedale for everything they have done over the last few weeks and I cannot rate their service high enough.

  • 5 Robert King 11th Sep 2022

    The service that Rosedale gave us was excellent right from our first contact with them. In getting the difficult balance between a caring and supporting role and the practical needs of our newly bereaved situation everyone at Rosedale was exemplary.

    From our initial contact with them through the advice they gave us on all options available to us, the subsequent organisation and the care on the day of the service - we couldn't have asked for more.

    Rachel Allen replied
    Thank you Robert for your kind words & for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, it is very much appreciated. I shall ensure the people concerned are made aware also. Kind regards, Rachel, Rosedale, Halesworth

  • 5 Sarah Andrews 29th May 2022

    The kind and caring service we received from Rosedale, Halesworth was excellent throughout, from taking our dear dad into their care to planning the day which he so deserved.  As a family we were mainly looked after by Faith and David, both were just lovely, nothing was too much trouble. They were both sensitive and thoughtful and both showed great compassion, they literally thought of everything with some lovely little touches and made a difficult time a lot easier for us all.  Many many thanks to Faith, David and all at Rosedale ♥️

    Faith at Rosedale in Halesworth offered us the most kind, caring and professional service we could have wished for. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Even offering private telephone number if we had any worries or concerns about the funeral over the weekend before.
    Faith is an exceptional person.
    We as a family would not hesitate to recommend Rosedale in our area and take this opportunity to thank the whole team.

    Faith at Rosedale Halesworth is simply wonderful, she went more than the extra mile. She helped me every step of the way, nothing was too much trouble, she made what was a very difficult and upsetting time bearable. I feel that I have made a friend in her. The funeral was lovely and just what Ron would have wanted, all carried out with great respect, dignity and care. Everyone said so. I tell all my friends this.

  • 5 Martin Denson 2nd Dec 2021

    I cannot recommend Faith at the Halesworth branch highly enough......she made it possible for me to get through this time by guiding me gently all the way. She is a very special person/employee.

    The care and respect that the whole Rosedale team showed, with every aspect of the funeral was exceptional....it felt like each employee had taken a piece of my grief and made the funeral, and arrangements, personal to them.

    I will forever grateful.

    Faith Ames replied

  • 5 Matt Stichbury 11th Oct 2021

    Very sadly, we had cause to organise two funerals in 3 months this year. We wouldn’t have got through the process without Faith and Simba looking after us and helping us navigate this awful task in such a trying time. We can’t recommend Rosedale highly enough. 

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Matt, Ella and Lola, Thank you for leaving myself, Simba and the whole team this feedback. It was both a privilege and an honour to have you entrust both Dad and Mum's funeral arrangements to us in such a short space of time of each of their passing. May they rest in peace - reunited. Best wishes to you all, Warmest Regards, Faith and Simba - Rosedale Funeral Home.
  • 5 Kenneth Bent 31st Aug 2021

    Rosedale brought together a wonderful memorial Service for my dear Wife Brenda Anne.
    I could never have achieved it alone. Faith was most considerate and Professional in all aspects of my requests.
    It was all that Brenda wished. I would also mention Tony who again was most Professional and helped me on the day.
    Thank you so much for all your help you gave me at this sad time.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Ken, Thank you so much for leaving this lovely review for myself and Tony. It is much appreciated. It was both a pleasure and a privilege to help you bring Brenda's wishes to fruition. Take care, Best Wishes, Faith ~ Rosedale Funeral Home.
