  • 5 ian Broughton 7th Feb 2024

    From the moment I rang for an appointment and subsequently entered the room at Harleston I felt I was being dealt with kindly. My mother was 101 years old but her passing was still an emotional shock. I then arranged for a funeral arrangement meeting with Rosedale including my brothers. This went well and all was arranged with Rosedale representatives offering support and opinions to help our decisions. My family was more than happy with the overall service.

    Fiona Tate replied
    Dear Ian thank you very much for your very kind review. Thank you for entrusting us with looking after your mother. It was lovely to meet you and your family and I am glad that you were happy with the service you received. Kindest regards Fiona
  • 5 Debbie Bird 26th Jan 2024

    Fiona was very efficient but extremely sympathetic and understanding when I cried. There was a good range of caskets to choose from; my husband who died had always insisted on not 'wasting ' good wood. The casket was beautiful looked like the real thing. The memorial cards with seeds were well liked and appreciated by family members and close friends. The funeral director was very kind and supportive throughout the service. A n excellent service.

    Fiona Tate replied
    Dear Debbie
    Thank you so much for your very kind review. It was a privilege to look after the arrangements for Ray and it was lovely to meet you.If you need anything please do not hesitate to get in touch.
    Kindest regards Fiona

  • 5 Kathryn Cox 5th May 2023

    Karen at Rosedale was incredibly helpful after my husband passed away. I had no idea where to start arranging his funeral. From coming to see me at my home, when when I didn't feel up to even stepping outside my door, she was there to provide advice on every aspect of how to go about it. I am so thankful to have chosen Rosedale, I was helped through the whole process, she was so easy to talk to, so much so that she ended up feeling like a friend. Thank you for the wonderful service you provided to myself and my family.

    Kathryn

    Faith Ames replied

  • 5 Neil Powell 17th Jun 2021

    Donna and her team were recommended to us by our local vicar. Since the first moment of contact they have been outstanding. Caring, considerate, attentive and my greatest praise goes to the way they have treated my dad. He will not have anything other than high praise said about Rosedale. At every stage of the painful process of laying my mum to rest they were magnificent. And the price was stupidly reasonable. They took care of everything - we did not have to worry about a thing and throughout they have looked after my dad as if he was a member of their own family. Thank you Donna and your team, your service has been beyond compare. Neil Powell

    Fiona Tate replied
    Dear Neil
    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review, I really appreciate it. I am glad that you and your Dad felt so well looked after.
    I will be sure to pass your feedback to my colleagues. Thanks again, kind regards
    Donna
