I dealt with James who helped to arrange my dad’s funeral, I initially spoke with him over the phone & I instantly got a good feeling about him, he was really helpful, caring & supportive through what is a very difficult time & nothing was to much bother. I would highly recommend Crescent funeral services.

Hi lovely people ....what can I say other than ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL, I have never met such kind caring people in all my life, just a shame its under such sad circumstances. I cannot fault anything you did or said. You treated MY MARTIN so lovingly and made him look so handsome and peaceful. I am sad I cannot see him any more but know he was in such wonderful hands for the time he spent in your Parlour and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for both of us. God bless you all. Love Eve xxxxx and Martin xxxx

5 Janet Holt 31st Mar 2023
Crescent are kind, organised and very supportive. Their chosen celebrant and florist were amazing. I would recommend the Crescent to anyone needing help with funeral arrangements. Simon is incredibly gentle, kind and very helpful. I dreaded the day of my mums funeral but on the day I actually enjoyed it. It was beautiful. Many thanks to Simon Helliar-Moore for the services he provided and for recommending the very excellent Pauline Marston as celebrant.

Simon and the team are brilliant, seamless planning, smooth running, all the help and guidance you could wish for. So caring, kind and absolutely professional. The pressure is taken from the family. When the day has passed you feel proud that your loved one's life has been thought of and celebrated in the best way possible.
Only Crescent Funeral Service could do this for our family and friends and has done so for many years. Thank you guysSimon Helliar-Moore replied

5 Debbi Turley 30th Jan 2023
Crescent are the most wonderful Funeral Directors. They are calm and gentle and treat you like their family. At a time when things are terrible, they help. They care for you - they do their best for you. They don't encourage you to buy other things because your loved one might like it. Your wishes are most important to them. As a member of the Clergy myself, I have dealt with them many times so there was never any doubt I would choose them when my father passed away. I would highly recommend them to everyone. They do what they do because they are called to do it - for them it's a vocation, not a job. Their staff have a beautiful heart and soul and at the worst of times they truly do make a difference.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dearest Debbi, We were so very honoured to look after your father and walk alongside you through this difficult time of bereavement. We don't underestimate nor take for granted the trust you placed in us. We appreciate how you work with many Funeral Directors in your day to day work and are so greatful you have seen our care and drive to make a sad occasion a little better. We wish you a lifetime of wonderful memories of your dear dad and thank you again for your generous comments. -

5 Andy Mellett 21st Jan 2023
Thank you, truly amazing, they nurtured us through the whole thing. Nothing was too much trouble, they made regular contact with us, not just to ask if we wanted different things but also to check on us and explain things to us.
It was such a relief to feel that my mother in Law was somewhere respectful, caring and totally professional from start to finish .

5 Martyn Hembrow 6th Jan 2023
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!
Robert Helliar-Moore replied
Thank you Martyn for your kind thoughts and words on the service we have provided for your family. It has been an honour to look after you and to make the Funeral Service everything you would have wanted. We wish you a lifetime of happy memories
