5Fiona Roberts27th 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

I was away at the time & Rosedales were very easy to contact, Richard was very good at organising everything for us & on the day he was great taking care of everything & making sure it all went smoothly.
I would highly recommend Rosedales.
