I couldn’t have asked for better support and understanding from the ladies and gentlemen at Rosedale. They were all very professional and kindness itself. From the first appointment to our last visit we always had their full attention and thank them all sincerely for making a difficult time more bearable. Excellent service and friendly and helpful at all times.

  • 5 Cathy Wardale 27th Feb 2023

    Due to both elderly parents’ deaths, this is the second time we have used Rosedale in 16 months. On each occasion, I have been very impressed by Faith’s warm and professional approach. She is extremely empathetic and always available to provide information and support during these challenging occasions. Because of Covid, our funeral arrangements had to change several times, and this was dealt with efficiently and with understanding.  All the staff are experienced and do an excellent job, so everything went smoothly on the day. I always recommend Rosedale to anyone who asks.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Cathy, I feel so privileged that you asked myself and Rosedale to make the arrangments for your Mother and Father's funerals. I am pleased that we were able to put something together that was a true reflection of them both and their wonderful lives. Thank you for your heartfelt review, it truly means a lot to me and all the team. Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale Funeral Home.

  • 5 Cindy Holland 26th Jan 2023

    As well as being compassionate, understanding and patient, I found the staff at Rosedale to be very professional and respectful. When you've lost a loved one, someone very special to you, you need people to emphasise with the emotions you're going through. Everyone at Rosedale proved to have the qualities needed to care for those who are bereaved. Thank you Faith and the Rosedale Team at Halesworth. From Cindy Holland

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Cindy, thank you for your lovely review, I will forward to all the team involved in the arrangements for Paul's funeral. It was a pleasure to look after you, and if you need anything at all please get in touch. Take Care, Kind Regards, Faith - Rosedale
  • 5 Emma Healey 26th Jan 2023

    Rosedales were wonderful to my sister and I. Their excellent Administrator Faith made everything so easy and she showed remarkable care and consideration as well as being fantastically efficient. Every detail was discussed and we felt totally reassured that everything would be as we wanted on the day. And it was. Lee and the team were thoughtful, respectful and really ensured we were looked after. Rosedales offer more than some Funeral Directors, their sense of the importance of community means that they really support people after their bereavement. What you get with Rosedales Halesworth is very special: efficient service delivered with real care and heart.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Emma, thank you for entrusting the arrangements for mum's funeral to myself and the team here at Rosedale. It was a privilege to look after everything for you and the family and if we can offer any additonal support for you please let me know. Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale
  • 5 Kenneth Reeve 26th Jan 2023

    Having dealt with Rosedale for many years  as a Parish Priest and Rural Dean in the Diocese of Norwich, I was well used to the very high standard of care and commitment given to the bereaved and the clergy when entrusted with funeral,arrangements.

    I recently officiated at the funeral of my dear sister at st. Margaret’s Church in Heveningham.  It was no surprise therefore when I asked the Incumbent which Funeral Director he considered best he immediately replied  Rosedale.  From the collection of the body from the house, when so much care was exercised, through to the Committal Rosedale staff were faultless to the point of excellence.  In particular the attention to detail by Faith in the Halesworth office and Barry Director on the day is most worthy of note.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Ken, It was such an honour to be asked, and was an absolute pleasure to work with you and put together the arrangements for your dear sister Iris. Your review means the world to me and the team and I will feed back your comments to all involved. Thank you for entrusting the arrangements to myself and Rosedale. Kindest Regards, Faith - Rosedale
  • 5 Charlotte Steele 26th Jan 2023

    Faith at Rosedales Halesworth was a complete star from the moment we met her. She handled everything with tact and empathy whilst being professional. Queries were dealt with extremely quickly. All their staff were very friendly and our mother couldn't have been cared for better.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Charlotte, thank you so much for taking the time to send us a review, it means so much to us all and it's such a privilege to be able to help at such a sad time. Best wishes to all the family, Faith - Rosedale.
  • 5 Barbara Dennis 26th Jan 2023

    Faith made the whole experience of planning my dear mothers funeral a good one. Her care and compassion was second to none. Her coffin was so beautiful having one of my mother's paintings wrapped around it all. Stunning and a real tribute to my mother's artistic talent.

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Barbara, It was an absolute honour to look after you and the family especially after another recent loss. Your mother was an amazing artist and I think you did her proud. Thank you for my lovely card too! Take care and Best Wishes, Faith - Rosedale

    I cannot thank the team at Rosedale enough for all their help, support and understanding that they have given to my family and I, during a very difficult time. The support the team at the Halesworth office gave us, to help make arrangements for the funeral was invaluable and made the whole process much easier. I cannot express how grateful I am to Rosedale for everything they have done over the last few weeks and I cannot rate their service high enough.

  • 5 Robert King 11th Sep 2022

    The service that Rosedale gave us was excellent right from our first contact with them. In getting the difficult balance between a caring and supporting role and the practical needs of our newly bereaved situation everyone at Rosedale was exemplary.

    From our initial contact with them through the advice they gave us on all options available to us, the subsequent organisation and the care on the day of the service - we couldn't have asked for more.

    Rachel Allen replied
    Thank you Robert for your kind words & for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, it is very much appreciated. I shall ensure the people concerned are made aware also. Kind regards, Rachel, Rosedale, Halesworth
