🎉 Exciting News from Rosedale! Part 2. 🎉

We are so proud of Faith, who received her Diploma in Funeral Directing today at the Annual Conference of the National Association of Funeral Directors. It’s been wonderful to celebrate not only Faith’s achievement but the success of all the diploma students who have worked so hard to reach this milestone and are celebrating with their families today.

Faith was tutored by Anne and Emily from Rosedale, and we are always especially proud when one of our own team achieves such success. 💚🌹

I think it’s fair to say there’s been a few tears of pride in the room.

Please join us in congratulating Faith and the Class of 2024/25 – what an inspiring weekend.

We’re at the NAFD Conference today, and our most recent team member to pass their Diploma in Funeral Directing Faith Ames is pictured here with Ben from Lyn Oakes Limited exploring uniform options.

At Rosedale, we know that the way we present ourselves is an important part of the care we provide. A well-chosen uniform isn’t just about looking smart, it reflects the respect we have for the families we serve, the dignity of the occasion, and the pride we take in our work.

From the fit of a jacket to the shine on our shoes, these small details make a big difference and help us live out our values of professionalism and compassion every single day.

If you’ve lost someone to su***de, you’ll know how complex and isolating grief can feel. Whether you’re a friend, family member or colleague, support is here for you.

💙In Memory of Loved Ones💙

This year, Christian Fairbrother and Lucy Coote will proudly wear Baton of Hope Tour 2025 t-shirts, when the Baton of Hope, a powerful symbol of su***de prevention and hope, arrives in Norwich as part of its nationwide tour.
We warmly invite families bereaved by su***de to add the names of their loved ones and a short message of love.

Each name will be carried with us, a reminder of lives that will never be forgotten, as together we raise funds for Hope After Su***de Loss, the local charity supporting families across Norfolk and Suffolk after a death by su***de.

💙How to sign a name:
Call Lucy on 07753 299925 and your loved one’s name and a short message will be written on your behalf.💙

With su***de still the leading cause of death for men under 50 and women under 35, and with these figures unchanged for 17 years, it is time to stand together. By uniting, speaking openly, and carrying names with love and pride, we can help break the silence and stigma surrounding su***de.

Even if you don’t need this support yourself, you may know someone who does. By sharing this post, you can help us reach those who might be quietly struggling.
Sometimes the right message at the right time can make all the difference.
