5 Ali Pember 30th Sep 2026
The level of care, kindness and professionalism we received from Crescent Funerals in planning and holding the recent funeral for my mum, Jean, was exceptional. In particular, Katie was a lovely warm and helpful person as our main point of contact. Everything went smoothly on the day and we also want to thank James and the team for the kind and respectful support they provided to us as a family at the funeral. It was a small and quiet but absolutely perfect day which is exactly as mum would have wanted. Dad and I are very grateful for everything.
Katie Rankin replied
Dear Ali, Thank you so much for your kind words. We wish you a lifetime of wonderful memories of your dear Mum.
Best wishes Katie -

5 Marian Draper 20th Sep 2026
The care and attention. That we have received from Crescent in Langport has been fantastic from the staff who came to collect Christopher's body to Katie who has arranged everything for the actual service and will be with us to inter the ashes this week. It was a difficult situation with two disabled brothers and the younger and more able one being the deceased. It needed very sensitive handling and it was done so well.
Katie Rankin replied
Dear Marian, Thank you for your kind words. I am pleased we met yours and Richard's needs to give a fitting send off to Christopher. We wish you many happy memories to sustain you. Best wishes Katie -

Thank you for all the help and support from your team over the last few weeks during the preparation for my husband, Robert Cole's funeral.
Throughout the organisation we were impressed by your professionalism and kindness. Katie managed the whole process with care and patience, always responding quickly to our questions and calmly gathering the information she needed to ensure the smooth running of his funeral. Robert's funeral was a peaceful and dignified celebration of his life, which included the traditional elements that were important to us all. Katie was clear and supportive when explaining the practical arrangements, and she showed understanding and compassion towards us all - thank you.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services.
With many thanks from myself and my family.Katie Rankin replied
Dear Angela,

5 Peter Coates 2nd Sep 2026
I would like to to extend my heartfelt thanks to Crescent Funeral Services. In slightly unconventional circumstances they provided a highly professional, sympathetic and appropriate burial for my father which was carried out with warmth and kindness throughout. They made all the difference in ensuring that a simple and informal graveside interment was conducted perfectly. I would highly recommend Simon and his team.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Peter, Thankyou for taking the time to share your thoughts and for choosing us to care for your father's interment requests. we are pleased to have met with your requirements and walked alongside you during this time. Wishing you many happy memories to sustain you. -
5 Andrew Creed 29th Aug 2026
Crescent Funeral Services, particularly Simon, provided the support, advice and information we needed to organise a woodland burial and memorial service for my mother when we live 200 miles away. They went out of their way to make sure everything went well and nothing was too much trouble. They are very professional, yet friendly and kind. Thank you also to James who was at the memorial service with us.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Andrew and Michele, Thank you for taking the time to review our services and for allowing us to take care of the arrangements for your mother. We are pleased to have met with your needs and we wish you many happy memories to sustain you into the future.

5 Sarah Duddridge 13th Jul 2026
From the moment that my beloved husband Eric left us, I know that he would be in safe capable hands at Crescent Funeral Services.
Having already spoken to Simon I knew that Eric would be treated with dignity and respect and all arrangements would be made professionally and with care.
The funeral was an amazing experience and as a family we so appreciate the care and willingness to fit in with our plans afterwards and the conveyance to Stoke St Gregory church graveyard.
Thank you so much to Simon and the team for your care and consideration throughout this difficult time in our lives.
Also thank you Simon for going the extra mile with the bus for the floral arrangementSimon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Dorothy and Sarah, thank you for these beautiful words. It was an honour to care for Eric, a man we had the privilege to know through his local ministry. It is always lovely to be able to add something a little special, we are pleased you liked the addition of the Woodford Green Bus. We wish you many years of wonderful memories to sustain you. -

The flowers absolutely stunning. Mum would have adored them. Thank you so much for the wonderful care shown to Mum and to us as a family, you were outstanding from beginning to end.
