5 Joseph Sutton 23rd Aug 2026
Simon and the team arranged the cremations of both our parents and they did them with grace, tact, humour and care. Simon had a clear memory of my father's service 6 years before my mother's which showed the level of care he has with his clients.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Joseph and Anna, thank you for your kind words, we are so humbled by your comments and are pleased we could care for your parents as you would have wished. May their memory sustain you through life. -

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. -

If you have the sad task of organising a funeral, I would not go anywhere else. The care and compassion shown by Simon and his team was second to none. Katie who directed the funeral was wonderful. 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.

Dear Karen, Thank you for your kind words, we are truly grateful to have been able to care for you and your family and it was an honour to look after the arrangements for your dearly loved mum. We wish you many happy memories to sustain you into the future. -

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. -

Superb service from Simon and his team. Everything was handled smoothly, promptly, and with compassion and understanding. It was very reassuring to have him in charge of our father’s cremation service and to guide us through the day.

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
