Faith Ames replied
Dear David and Marie, what can I say.. to hear of Ken's passing was a sad day for me, having helped him meticulously plan the memorial service for his late beloved wife. It was imperitive to make sure everything was as he wanted and I can't put into words what an honour it was to bring his wishes to fruition and meet you and the family. He was a true gentleman and I take comfort knowing that he is now reunited with Brenda. Thank you both for your lovely words, Take care and best wishes, Faith

Rosedale was recommended to me by a friend and the service they provided was highly personal and exemplary. From the first telephone call to my last contact with them, I have nothing but praise.
They made the whole process comfortable and handled everything in a personable and sensitive way.
The information provided and options available were clear and accurate. Arrangements were open to adjustment at every stage, and everything ran smoothly.
I would certainly recommend their services to others who sadly find themselves in my position.
Faith Ames replied

5Sarah McGinn5th Jun 2023
Sadly my third family funeral in almost as many years, all handled by Rosedales of Halesworth. Huge thanks to Faith, who magically transforms ideas and encourages them too, for very unique and personalised funeral services into wonderful and unforgettable events whilst being unintrusive and yet extremely supportive. Fabulous. Many thanks also to the team who make it all run so smoothly with such kindness whilst looking so immaculate! Perfect. On each occasion, perfect. One anxiety less in troubled times.
Faith Ames replied
Dear Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to leave me and the team such a wonderful review. I'm just so sorry that you needed to use our services again in such a short space of time.. It really was an honour to be asked again and to help you put together a service that truly reflected Richard, you did him proud. The world is a much darker place without him in it. Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale.

5Fiona Jarvis16th May 2023
From the first point of contact, Christian couldn't have been more helpful, kind and considerate to accommodate us, including the variation from the funeral plan. We were matched with the most wonderful celebrant and something I had been dreading wasn't anywhere near as difficult as I had imagined. On the day itself all the staff were most considerate of everyone especially mum whose in a wheelchair, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Rosedale to anyone without hesitation.
Faith Ames replied
Dear Fiona, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. This will be passed on to Christian and all the team involved with the arrangements. It was an honour to help you at such a sad time. Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale

I could not have asked for a kinder or more compassionate service from Rosedale Funeral Home. Staff members Paul and, particularly, Faith went above and beyond to inform and support me in making decisions and then arranging the details of the funeral I chose for my father.
I would not hesitate to recommend this excellent firm.
