About Us

All our Funeral Directors are qualified and have served a great number of families in Diss and the surrounding villages. Rosedale Funeral Home was established to enable us to follow our desire to work for an independent family business, where we can focus on the needs of the bereaved families.

We have established our premises at Rosedale House, incorporating the original lounge and a beautiful rose garden sponsored by Peter Beales Roses. We run a 24 hour personal service and it is a pleasure to be able to bring a much needed service to the people of Diss and the surrounding areas.
