Nicky Kelly 14th Feb 2024

Rosedale and especially Faith are simply the best. So kind, caring and empathetic. Faith took all the worry and stress away from us, which was incredible considering such an emotional situation. Highly recommended. 

Sheila Dunce 7th Feb 2024

I find it hard to find the words. The kindness, guidance inspiration and loving care given to all of my family and myself was magnificent, nothing was too much. We were with the support of Faith and David able to give my husband the funeral that was so 'Alan' I could say so much more, just perfect.

Anthony Morley 30th Jan 2024

A professional service was provided by Faith who helped me through the issues to enable the funeral to take place. Many thanks Anthony

  • 5 Allison Firman 26th Jan 2024

    My sister and I could not fault Rosedale Funeral Home in Halesworth. Every member of staff worked to the highest standard of care. In particular Faith who helped us through the saddest of times with professionalism and efficiency but above all else with kindness, care and thoughtfulness to ensure all our needs and requests were met. Faith had a great eye for detail and went above and beyond to make the day exactly how we wanted, and for that we cannot thank Faith enough. We must also mention Kathy who also helped to arrange the timings and venue for the Wake. Also Sam, who, although working in the background gave both of us solace in the fact he was "Taking good care of, and looking after Mum" whilst we finalised details.
    My sister and I cannot thank the Halesworth/Beccles Team of Rosedale Funeral Home enough for everything.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Allison and Cheryl, thank you so much for choosing Rosedale and for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! It was such an honour to support and guide you at such a difficult time and I hope the service gave you some comfort. You mum was a wonderful lady and you both did her proud. I will pass on your kind words to Sam, Kath and all involved. Best Wishes, Faith & Simba - Rosedale
