From start to finish Rosedale provided an excellent and sympathetic service. Advice was gently given and I never felt I had to rush to make a decision. Faith was so kind and helpful. I would recommend Rosedale without hesitation.

  • 4 Cathy Wardale 30th Jul 2021

    Faith and the team on the day, led by James, provided an excellent service. From her initial visit to the house through to the day itself,  I really appreciated Faith’s care, quick response to my emails and willingness to help with whatever I needed. Everything ran smoothly on the day and the  quality of the OOS photos was great. 
    The only reason I haven’t given  excellent is the unnecessarily protracted exchange re the OOS proof reading edits, which I gather are outsourced. 
    Once that issue is sorted, I would happily recommend Rosedale. 

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Cathy and family, many thanks for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback for myself and the team. I will ensure this passed on to all of the team involved with Mum's funeral. I completely take on board your comments re the exchanges with the Order of Service proofs and have fed this back to the company we partner with. Thank you for entrusting Rosedale and myself to look after the arrangements for Mum's funeral. It was a real privilege and I hope you would recommend our services in the future. Best Wishes, Faith

    From the start the staff have been caring and helpful.  Really useful suggestions as to how to proceed and careful listening to our own wishes.  Everything proceeded as wished for and we could not have been happier with the service we received, down to the teddy bear for our youngest grandson. Most thoughtful and much appreciated. Many thanks to Faith and all the staff at Rosedales.

  • 5 David Moulton 11th May 2021

    Rosedales to us as a family has truly thought of every step of the process for a family grieving.
    From the first phone call when our dear mother passed everything was explained in a very caring way. We were at peace knowing our mother was in a place where dignity and respect was foremost until we could lay her to rest.
    We have made a special friendship with Faith Ames who has supported and helped us put together a beautiful service for our mother and made sure everything was perfect on the day. Rosedales will always have our heartfelt thanks.
    David and Jo.

  • 5 Sarah McGinn 5th Mar 2021


    Top rate service. For us it was sadly the second time within a year that we needed a Funeral Director but I recall Faith patiently guiding us through the proceedings with helpful and sympathetic suggestions the first time round. With some idea of proceedings second time, our wishes were encouragingly put into action. Faith also helped us to produce an Order of Service which surpassed expectations using her design skills and wonderful ideas. We wanted a Keepsake of our dear Father and were delighted with the result.

    The service ran professionally and was a unique and personal tribute to our Dad. despite Covid Restrictions we were able to say our farewells without pressure. With the addition of the Webcast we were able to invite those who could not attend or were too frail to join us.

    I might add that the two services Rosedales held for my Mum last year were also superb.

    A sympathetic, kind, understanding and professional service, we are indebted to Rosedales for all their help.

    Rachel Allen replied
    Thank you for such a lovely review Sarah, and especially for the kind words regarding Faith, which I have forwarded to her. Your review is very much appreciated, thank you, kind regards, Rachel Allen, Rosedale Funeral Home.
