    I am extremely thankful to have used this wonderful team at Rosedales Diss.  What an extraordinary level of professionalism teamed with kindness, practicality and sensitivity.  I cannot recommend them highly enough. Navigating the funeral arrangements for a parent is difficult and emotional but with the help from Charmaine and her colleagues we did this even with some joy! Thank you so much.

    Kerry Welch replied
    Dear Val,

    Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. I'm so pleased that you felt guided through the funeral arrangements, and that it was a positive experience, despite the sad occasion.

  • 5 Chris Mills 10th May 2024

    Ivy's death was sudden and unexpected. We were totally unprepared and it coincided with the Easter weekend when all agencies etc shut down until the following Tuesday. This was the context for our funeral experience. Charmaine was our point of contact with Rosedale and the service she provided was excellent. Everything she did was done with sensitivity,charm,respect,positivity and sympathy. Charmaine was our guide and provider through the whole funeral experience and we came to regard her as a friend. She was always available to talk to,always ready to listen and always prepared to suggest ways to move forward. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Ivy's actual funeral was managed from start to finish with great professionalism, sensitivity and understanding. The funeral was a unique reflection of everything that was best about Ivy. Thankyou Charmaine. The Rosedale booklet was also very useful; full of detail,ideas,addresses and ways to proceed. It covered everything from arranging the funeral, registering the death, Tell Us Once,dealing with probate and arranging the Wake. A very comprehensive and utterly indispensable booklet.
