The team at Rosedale were extremely kind and helpful with supporting our arrangements for a personal, sensitive and thoughtful funeral for a much loved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather

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.
