The kind and caring service we received from Rosedale, Halesworth was excellent throughout, from taking our dear dad into their care to planning the day which he so deserved.  As a family we were mainly looked after by Faith and David, both were just lovely, nothing was too much trouble. They were both sensitive and thoughtful and both showed great compassion, they literally thought of everything with some lovely little touches and made a difficult time a lot easier for us all.  Many many thanks to Faith, David and all at Rosedale ♥️

  • 5 Sally Hammond 22nd Feb 2022

    Faith at Rosedale in Halesworth offered us the most kind, caring and professional service we could have wished for. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Even offering private telephone number if we had any worries or concerns about the funeral over the weekend before.
    Faith is an exceptional person.
    We as a family would not hesitate to recommend Rosedale in our area and take this opportunity to thank the whole team.

    Faith at Rosedale Halesworth is simply wonderful, she went more than the extra mile. She helped me every step of the way, nothing was too much trouble, she made what was a very difficult and upsetting time bearable. I feel that I have made a friend in her. The funeral was lovely and just what Ron would have wanted, all carried out with great respect, dignity and care. Everyone said so. I tell all my friends this.

  • 5 Martin Denson 2nd Dec 2021

    I cannot recommend Faith at the Halesworth branch highly enough......she made it possible for me to get through this time by guiding me gently all the way. She is a very special person/employee.

    The care and respect that the whole Rosedale team showed, with every aspect of the funeral was exceptional....it felt like each employee had taken a piece of my grief and made the funeral, and arrangements, personal to them.

    I will forever grateful.

    Faith Ames replied

  • 5 Matt Stichbury 11th Oct 2021

    Very sadly, we had cause to organise two funerals in 3 months this year. We wouldn’t have got through the process without Faith and Simba looking after us and helping us navigate this awful task in such a trying time. We can’t recommend Rosedale highly enough. 

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Matt, Ella and Lola, Thank you for leaving myself, Simba and the whole team this feedback. It was both a privilege and an honour to have you entrust both Dad and Mum's funeral arrangements to us in such a short space of time of each of their passing. May they rest in peace - reunited. Best wishes to you all, Warmest Regards, Faith and Simba - Rosedale Funeral Home.

    Rosedale brought together a wonderful memorial Service for my dear Wife Brenda Anne.

    It was all that Brenda wished. I would also mention Tony who again was most Professional and helped me on the day.
    Thank you so much for all your help you gave me at this sad time.

    Faith Ames replied

    Advice was gently given and I never felt I had to rush to make a decision.


    Faith was so kind and helpful. I would recommend Rosedale without hesitation.

    Faith couldn't have done more for us. Excellent 

    Rachel Allen replied
    Thank you Huw for taking the time to leave this lovely feedback for Faith, I will ensure she sees your comments. Kind regards Rachel, Rosedale Funeral Home
  • 4 Cathy Wardale 30th Jul 2021

    Faith and the team on the day, led by James, provided an excellent service. From her initial visit to the house through to the day itself,  I really appreciated Faith’s care, quick response to my emails and willingness to help with whatever I needed. Everything ran smoothly on the day and the  quality of the OOS photos was great. 
    The only reason I haven’t given  excellent is the unnecessarily protracted exchange re the OOS proof reading edits, which I gather are outsourced. 
    Once that issue is sorted, I would happily recommend Rosedale. 

    Faith Ames replied
    Dear Cathy and family, many thanks for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback for myself and the team. I will ensure this passed on to all of the team involved with Mum's funeral. I completely take on board your comments re the exchanges with the Order of Service proofs and have fed this back to the company we partner with. Thank you for entrusting Rosedale and myself to look after the arrangements for Mum's funeral. It was a real privilege and I hope you would recommend our services in the future. Best Wishes, Faith
