Unexpectedly and very suddenly my Aunt passed away just before Christmas, which is never a good time for a funeral, if in fact any time may be considered as good. In addition she was leaving her surviving husband who is dependant on dialysis treatment three times a week which would make the cremation arrangements slightly difficult and to make matters worse the crematorium was being rewired and was not operating on Mondays and Tuesdays. So, somewhat apprehensive, concerned and unsure of things I contacted Crescent Funeral Services and spoke with Robert who immediately erased all of my concerns, worries and uncertainties. His care and consideration to not only myself but also my uncle was outstanding. This continued throughout our phone calls, visits, viewing my aunt at rest, the day of the cremation (three days prior to Christmas) and afterwards as well. Attention to detail was first class with the flowers being what my uncle envisaged and with the production of the order of service. Thanks to Robert and the Team I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending their services, and, by the way, my Uncle has made it quite clear who he wants to take care of his funeral!

This is the third time that Simon has done a funeral for my family and he really is excellent . I would not even think of having anyone else . His care and consideration for myself and family was second to none and he knew when to show the lighter side and when to be serious . We were very lucky to have him and I would always suggest Crescent to anyone in the same situation, I have found myself in recently .
