THANK YOU for everything you have done in order to give dad the best send off possible. When we all arrived for our first meeting at the Crescent we received such a warm, understanding welcome. Not only were we supported in making decisions about the funeral, we were able to talk openly about our journey and the pain we were feeling. Through tears and laughter somehow you guided us through the decisions we needed to make and got us thinking about things we didn’t know about! Such as a Scottish flag coffin !!! The best decision!!! You gave us the time and space that we needed to get our heads around it all and to make those decisions. Thank you for communicating with us all about so many different things and responding quickly and reassuringly. We all visited dad. He looked beautifully at peace in his surroundings and in his Scottish coffin - it was perfect. Thank you. And to the most important day, the hardest day. You were there, calming, confident, reassuring. Making the hardest day a good day. We all valued your expert knowledge, warmth and professionalism. Thank you so much Cath, Frank, Mary and Helen

Simon and his team provided an exceptional service from start to finish. The whole process was made easier for us and CFS were always available to call to deal with any queries. We had organised a natural burial and CFS worked seamlessly with Hackpen to make the funeral perfect for our beloved Tim. Thank you so much. Janet and Tarn

We recently said goodbye to my husband, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank the funeral directors for the truly outstanding care they provided. From the very beginning, Simon and the team were kind, attentive, and incredibly compassionate. During such a difficult time, nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they guided us through every step with sensitivity and understanding. They treated my husband with the utmost dignity and gave him the most beautiful send-off, which meant more to us than words can express. Their support helped ease a very painful time, and we will always be I would highly recommend them to anyone needing funeral services — you will be in the most caring and capable hands.
