  • 5 Lisa Hamill 7th Aug 2023

    It is such a terribly difficult situation you find yourself in and the idea of being able to arrange and get through the funeral seems impossible. Christian and his team guided us through the whole process gently and so respectfully, that by the time the day came we knew we would get through it. We can't thank them enough. The Hamill Family

  • 5 Ellen Pitt 7th Aug 2023

    I was grateful especially to Charmaine Dunsmore for her personal help and extraordinary patience with me at an extremely difficult time. She was there every part of the way when I needed someone to guide me.......I have told my family that when it is my time to go they must ensure Charmaine is the person to make contact with so that I can join my husband John in peace and tranquility with Charmaine in charge, God willing. Ellen Pitt

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Ellen, thank you for leaving such a wonderful review. Your kind words will be passed to Charmaine and all of the team involved. Kind Regards, Faith - Rosedale.

  • 4 Riccardo Padoan 31st Jul 2023

    You were impeccable on the day. Punctual at the house and with the viewing in the church. The carrying of the coffin was professionally done and the lowering of the coffin into the grave was perfect.
    However it was often difficult to get hold of Charmaine and her colleagues did not know the answers. The choice of the plot caused Rick some distress. The plot did not match up with the map of the cemetery and Melissa at the council was more helpful with this allocating me a nearby one away from the dog walker track.
    Also in the church we noticed at the front of the coffin on right hand side there was a large chip but we were not told about this.
    However we would still recommend you and thank you for your care. RICCARDO.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Riccardo, Thank you for your kind words which I will also pass on to my team who helped on the day. At Rosedale, we always strive to give the best possible care and service and so I'm sorry about the mark on the coffin which was overlooked, however I will look into how this happened. Please don't hesitate to contact me if there is anything further that I can help with. Kind regards, Charmaine - Rosedale
  • 5 Carol Winter 28th Jul 2023

    Faith Ames replied
    Thank you so much Carol for your wonderful review. It really means so much to all of the team involved. Kindest Regards, Faith - Rosedale
  • 5 Colin Mortimer 28th Jul 2023

    Rosedales were excellent.
    They listened to what we wanted and then put a plan in place to make it happen.
    We were very lucky to have them to take my wife on her last journey with dignity.
    The whole team, including the celebrant and florist were superb.
    I don't think my words can adequately thank Rosedales for their service.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Colin, It was an honour to look after your beloved wife and to be entrusted with her funeral arrangements. We are so pleased that everything met your expectations and your kind words will be passed to all involved. If we can be of any further support please don't hesitate to get in touch. Warm Regards, Faith - Rosedale

    Nothing was too much trouble and they carried out our wishes to the 'T'.
    Thank you so much.

  • 5 Glenys Martin 29th Jun 2023

    All the staff at Rosedale Funeral Home are superb and are expert in their roles.  Richard Green put my son and I at ease on first meeting him.  He was calm, caring, sensitive, friendly and very helpful.  He helped us through a very difficult chat about funeral arrangements for my late husband, making it a very personable experience.  We weren’t rushed at all and weren’t pushed into making some decisions there and then.  He was clear about the procedure on the day of the funeral, which took place smoothly, without a hitch.   I also met Charmaine, who again was caring and sensitive with emotional things I discussed with her.  
    For a very emotional and difficult task, I give Rosedale Funeral Home my full recommendation to anyone going through bereavement and having to make funeral arrangements.  I’m very grateful to have had a difficult experience made much easier during an emotional time. 
    Many thanks, especially to Richard and Charmaine.  

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Glenys, thank you for such a lovely review. It really was a privilege to help you and your son put together the arrangements for Austin. Your sincere thanks will be passed to Richard, Charmaine and all of the team involved. Kindest regards, Faith - Rosedale
