    As before with the funeral of our father, Richard and the team at Rosedale were excellent and looked after everything for our mother and for us. 
    Can’t thank them enough for everything they have done and for helping to make such a difficult time more bearable. You do a wonderful job at a difficult time in people’s lives. Thank you.

    Kind Regards

  • 5 Fiona Roberts 27th Jul 2024

    My mother's funeral was the third time I have used Rosedale, so that speaks volumes of how highly I rate their services. On each occasion, I dealt with Richard, from the Diss branch, and I feel that he is exemplary. Kind, and so sympathetic without any hint of intrusion. He gently goes about doing everything he needs to do to make the occasion as painless as possible, given the circumstances. I would recommend Rosedale to anyone, as profesional, efficient and totally reliable.

    Kerry Welch replied
    Dear Fiona
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I am pleased that you felt in safe hands and that the arrangements for your Mother's funeral were carried out to your satisfaction.

    Kind Regards

    Richard
