  • 5 Anne Coates 9th Sep 2022

    From the very first meeting at the Funeral Home my husband and I felt that we were in good hands. Although the funeral arrangements had been set out by our deceased friend everything was explained to us. Everything was handled professionally and the funeral was beautiful. We would have no hesitation of recommending Rosedale to our friends

  • 4 Kevin Boyton 9th Sep 2022

    Didn't start off well at the first meeting due to a misunderstanding but the arrangements from then on and the service on the day were good.

    Disappointed that I was sent another invoice for further charges after final payments had already been made but Christian did sort it out for us and send a revised invoice.

    Rachel Allen replied
    I'm sorry your initial meeting with us did not go according to plan Kevin, & that you were troubled with another invoice. I'm glad however that Christian was able to resolve the issues for you. We take all reviews seriously and respond accordingly, thank you for taking the time to leave this review, kind regards, Rachel Allen, Rosedale, Diss

  • 5 Pauline Bott 8th Jan 2022

    We could not have wished for better service by Richard and his team. They made the whole experience much more bearable and easy to negotiate for which I thank them.

    Only one very small thing that I would like to mention -I don't think its necessary to have Rosedale's name advertised on the donation box for mourners at the crematorium.

    Once again many thanks for the personal, professional and faultless service.

    Wendy Muncila

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Wendy, Many thanks for your feedback and kind words. I have passed on your comments to the management team for consideration. Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale Funeral Home.

You never know how you will cope with the death of a loved one, but Rosedale will be there to help & guide you & ensure that the funeral will be one less thing to worry about. Thank you to everyone involved - you are the best.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Margaret, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is much appreciated and will be passed to all involved. Kind Regards - Faith, Rosedale Funeral Home.
