Everyone at Rosedale Funeral Home Diss was so helpful, kind and friendly, offering advice and suggestions where necessary and carrying out our wishes in a very efficient yet sensitive way.  The day of the memorial service and committal went perfectly to plan and provided a beautiful send off. Thank you - even Anne would have been impressed!

  • 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
