Dear Richard,
I would like to express my thanks to you and the Rosedale team including Emily, Keith and Kerry. The kindness, thoughtfulness, respect and attention to detail were so very much appreciated.
The 19th March was a beautiful Norfolk spring morning for the burial, and final farewell to 97 years of a life well lived. Keith and the team were exemplary, and personable and we enjoyed a brief chat following the burial.
I particularly would like to thank Emily for her professionalism and kindness.
Kind regards
M. Goddard
5Clifford Lodge3rd Apr 2026
Richard and the team at Diss were wonderful. Very helpful whilst remaining sympathetic to our loss. They organised the funeral exactly as we wanted it and liaised with the vicar to ensure everything went smoothly. They arranged the orders of service and the music and were able to accommodate the use of a drape over the coffin. Couldn’t have wished for a more stress free experience. Thank you.
Kerry Welch replied
Dear Clifford,
I am pleased that you felt the arrangements were seen through as you would have wanted. It was a priviledge to look after the arrangements and important to all the team at Rosedale that they were carried out in a sympathetic and dignified way.

Kind Regards,
Richard
