The whole team at Crescent funerals were wonderful to deal with throughout. Kind, caring and compassionate at all times. No question too silly , no request too big or too small. They facilitated family to visit the chapel of rest at different times and it was never any trouble. I Highly recommend Crescent Funeral Services.
