John Blagden 2nd Jun 2023

Everything went very smoothly and worked well, I cannot think of a single thing that could be improved upon. A really excellent service.

Stephen Disney 23rd May 2023

From the first time I contacted Rosedale the service that I received was of the highest standard. We were given great  guidance and everything involved with my wife's funeral was exceptional and well handled. At such a sad time in my families lives it was a great comfort not to worry about the funeral. Many thanks from us all.
