We felt right from the outset that we were in 'safe hands'. Rosedale had been selected by my mother prior to her death and whenever we mentioned to people who were using for the funeral arrangements they nodded, smiled and said 'they are the best' and there is no more of a ringing endorsement than public opinion! Charmaine was excellent throughout and gave us confidence, literally nothing was too much trouble and the staff on the day were excellent. Recommend without reservation.
