Very professional but friendly and approachable.
They were able to guide us gently through the necessary procedures.
I don't think they could have done anymore to make us feel comfortable, and confident that the funeral would go without a hitch.
I would recommend them to anybody if you have need of their services.
Thank you to everybody at Rosedale, Diss.

From the first point of contact - Charmaine has been absolutely outstanding. None of our wishes have been too much, everything was spoken about and planned in the most beautiful and dignified way. Charmaine and the rest of Rosedale made sure everything went smoothly for our special man's send off.

Thank you so much for everything .
As a newly bereaved family, we valued your kindness, sensitivity and compassion towards us at this sad time.
We really appreciated the time you gave us and the attention to detail which was very important to us .
A special mention to Christian too as nothing was too much trouble. It was so reassuring to meet with the same person each time.
Please pass on our grateful thanks to the publishers for putting together a service sheet exactly how we wanted it. We had some lovely comments from family and friends who said how much they appreciated the memento.
The flowers from the florist were absolutely stunning . Again we had so many positive comments on how beautiful they were. Would definitely recommend them to others.
The whole day went so well , exactly how we wanted it to be so thank you for making a difficult day bearable.
We used Rosedale when our dear mum passed away 14 years ago and they didn't disappoint. Everything was personalised and professional.
We have no hesitation in recommending Rosedale to anyone who needs this service.
Our grateful thanks
Kerry Welch replied
Dear Debbie, thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive and glowing review and for your kind words which I will pass onto all concerned. I am really glad to hear that you were satisfied with all our arrangements and for your father and that we helped to make a sad time for you and your family a little easier and a bit more bearable. I hope that you were all able to take some comfort from his service.
Kind regards and take care, Christian - Rosedale
Very professional but friendly and approachable.
They were able to guide us gently through the necessary procedures.
I don't think they could have done anymore to make us feel comfortable, and confident that the funeral would go without a hitch.
