Rosedale Funeral Home in Halesworth is the most caring company you will ever come across Faith is a gem & she is a credit to the company she cannot do enough to help you during this difficult time in your life also Dave & the pall bearers are perfect gentleman & help you along your way

Dee Mustin 11th Jul 2023

Rosedale was recommended to me by a friend and the service they provided was highly personal and exemplary. From the first telephone call to my last contact with them, I have nothing but praise. They made the whole process comfortable and handled everything in a personable and sensitive way. The information provided and options available were clear and accurate. Arrangements were open to adjustment at every stage, and everything ran smoothly. I would certainly recommend their services to others who sadly find themselves in my position.

Zoe Beckert 25th Jun 2023

I don't think I can express my thanks in words to Faith, Fiona and the whole team at Rosedale, but I'll try! The whole experience was so professional, everything was taken care of, all questions - no matter how minor or silly - were answered. It was an absolute pleasure working with you all. Thank you again. Best wishes, Zoe, Sam & Dan (Jackie Moulson's children).

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear David and Marie, what can I say.. to hear of Ken's passing was a sad day for me, having helped him meticulously plan the memorial service for his late beloved wife. It was imperitive to make sure everything was as he wanted and I can't put into words what an honour it was to bring his wishes to fruition and meet you and the family. He was a true gentleman and I take comfort knowing that he is now reunited with Brenda. Thank you both for your lovely words, Take care and best wishes, Faith

  • 5 Sarah McGinn 5th Jun 2023

    Sadly my third family funeral in almost as many years, all handled by Rosedales of Halesworth. Huge thanks to Faith, who magically transforms ideas and encourages them too, for very unique and personalised funeral services into wonderful and unforgettable events whilst being unintrusive and yet extremely supportive. Fabulous. Many thanks also to the team who make it all run so smoothly with such kindness whilst looking so immaculate! Perfect. On each occasion, perfect. One anxiety less in troubled times.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to leave me and the team such a wonderful review. I'm just so sorry that you needed to use our services again in such a short space of time.. It really was an honour to be asked again and to help you put together a service that truly reflected Richard, you did him proud. The world is a much darker place without him in it. Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale.

  • 5 Fiona Jarvis 16th May 2023

    From the first point of contact, Christian couldn't have been more helpful, kind and considerate to accommodate us, including the variation from the funeral plan. We were matched with the most wonderful celebrant and something I had been dreading wasn't anywhere near as difficult as I had imagined. On the day itself all the staff were most considerate of everyone especially mum whose in a wheelchair, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Rosedale to anyone without hesitation.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Fiona, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. This will be passed on to Christian and all the team involved with the arrangements. It was an honour to help you at such a sad time. Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale

    I would not hesitate to recommend this excellent firm.

  • 5 Cathy Wardale 27th Feb 2023

    Due to both elderly parents’ deaths, this is the second time we have used Rosedale in 16 months. On each occasion, I have been very impressed by Faith’s warm and professional approach. She is extremely empathetic and always available to provide information and support during these challenging occasions. Because of Covid, our funeral arrangements had to change several times, and this was dealt with efficiently and with understanding.  All the staff are experienced and do an excellent job, so everything went smoothly on the day. I always recommend Rosedale to anyone who asks.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Cathy, I feel so privileged that you asked myself and Rosedale to make the arrangments for your Mother and Father's funerals. I am pleased that we were able to put something together that was a true reflection of them both and their wonderful lives. Thank you for your heartfelt review, it truly means a lot to me and all the team. Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale Funeral Home.
