Stephanie Doyle 21st Aug 2023

The staff at Rosedales have been amazing. I live very far away from where my loved one did so much of the arrangements were done from a distance. I worried this would be more difficult than it already was,however it was anything but. They were very communicative by email and by phone when needed and made sure that I understood all the the arrangements and was happy with it, even signing documentation was made easy. The staff were sympathetic and kind and listened to everything I had to say without fuss. I cannot thank them enough

    From the moment you enter the funeral home you are greeted bye nice friendly staff, that put your needs there main priority, make your visit as easy as possible and keep you informed 100%.

  • 5 Sheila Day 6th May 2023

    This is just one of us (Sr. Sheila) typing this, as Sr.Elizabeth is not around - but I don't think either of us could fault the service we received for both Sister Margaret Onions and Sister Violet Evans earlier on. It did help that we had the internet connection - I think we did a fair amount of communication through that - and I guess it helps to be aware when you are dealing with those who still haven't...! But I'm sure, from what we know of you, that you are very much up to speed with that kind of thing. Best wishes from us both ...

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Sr. Sheila and Sr. Elizabeth. Thank you both so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It was such a privilege to be able to look after the arrangements on your behalf. Technology is a wonderful thing! Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale.
