Redmond died just before Christmas, passing away on the 19th December 1913. When he died flags were flown at half mast at the Cafferata works as well as at several other local businesses. His funeral was conducted by Bishop Brindle of Nottingham, after which he was laid to rest in Newark Cemetery.

 

Redmond's grave in Newark

Sadly, further tragedy was to follow as, just a few weeks later, on the 12th February 1914, Ellen Cafferata was found dead in her bed at Harrowby House. In funeral arrangements organised by Messrs. G. Brown & Son, Bishop Brindle was again called upon to officiate, assisted by no less than six other priests.

Once again the family gathered to mourn as Ellen was interred next to her husband in a grave that had been lined with evergreens, with arum lilies on each side and dozens of floral tributes, including over 30 dedications from her children, family, friends and the prominent citizens and businessmen of Newark. Family tributes included “In loving memory, form Louis, Bernie, Clement and Cyril” and “In loving memory of a darling mother from her heart-broken daughters Secca, Nell, Beattie and Dossie” and “To darling Grannie from her grandchildren Randolph, Gerald and Sonia”.
