I’m so glad I chose crescent to look after my beautiful Frankie, Katie has been incredible and the process has been made so much easier, during the most difficult time I’ll ever go through, I’ve been able to get by with her support. I couldn’t thank the team enough for looking after my baby.

5 Neil Raffell 7th Jun 2026
From the outset, I was impressed with the compassionate, profesional service that I was offered.
Both my wife and I had/have Golden charter plans,which avoided any financial burden, at a vulnerable time in life.
My initial contact with Robert on the phone and then with James who visited me at home to discuss arrangements were
very satisfactory.
I visited the funeral parlour and met Kate who was lovely and between us we arranged the memorial for my wife, at the funeral parlour in Curry Rival.
This was a small affair , just family and current close friends and everyone who has seen the video that was recorded has commented that it was a fitting tribute to a lovely woman.
I can highly recomend Crescent funeral services.Katie Rankin replied
Dear Neil, Thank you for your kind review, it was a beautiful small, intimate service for Janet. I wish you many fond memories of her. -

5 Helen Grant 2nd Jun 2026
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

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

5 Jo Scranage 12th May 2026
From the initial call to inform Crescent Funeral Services my lovely Mum had sadly passed away, up until her funeral on 7th May, I was treated with care, warmth & empathy. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Simon & this team cared for Dad too when we lost him two years ago & I couldn't have wished for better care for either of my parents or family support at a difficult time.

5 Dawn Cunnington 22nd Apr 2026
We would like to thank Katie for all her kindness, care and professionalism she showed to Glyn and I when planning and undertaking my Mums funeral. She made this really difficult time easy by her calm, kind manner and nothing was too much trouble.
When Mum died James & Leon attended to her in the nursing home in a very respectful and professional way.
The funeral went really smoothly and Katie & her colleagues put us all at ease and helped us on this difficult day. All of them seemed to really care about what they were doing and wanted to do it well.
Overall we were so pleased that we chose Crescent Funeral Services in Langport and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is recently bereaved.
Katie Rankin replied
Dear Dawn and Glyn, thank you do much for your lovely words, it was such an uplifting funeral celebrating Mum's life. I wish you both so many wonderful memories of her. Best wishes

5 Caroline Rowe 7th Apr 2026
Simon and all the team at Crescent were kind and caring and dealt with Mum's wishes with a minimum of fuss. She would have been so pleased with how the funeral went - especially the horses and the huntsman sounding 'gone to ground' for her. As an 'insider' family, we were really touched that the whole team turned out to support us, especially my husband, their colleague, and for us to be recipients of the 'Crescent way'. Thanks, all!
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Caroline and all the family. We are so honoured to have been chosen to look after your mum, a lady who knew her mind and what she wanted for her farewell. We are pleased ot have fulfilled those wishes and to have supported you all through the weeks leading up to the funeral and on the day itself. We wish you all many happy memories to sustain you in the coming days.
