I have never encountered such high standards of excellence than with Crescent Funeral Services.Simon. Robert and their team were faultless in the execution of a complex service where the smallest details were not over-looked.

From the initial contact to the final graveside internment I cannot praise James and Simon enough for the attention to detail and compassion that they showed my mother and family. I am no expert in undertaker procedures, but I really could not have wished for anything more. Thank you all so much.

5 Lyn Behan 16th Feb 2022
I live in Australia and was unable to travel to England for my mother's funeral. Rebecca of Crescent Funerals was very supportive and helped me arrange everything: the service, the Somerset willow coffin my mother wanted, music and a video. She organised the stonemason and the cemetery details and liaised with the minister.
It was very comforting to know that everything was in capable hands.Katie Rankin replied
Dear Lyn, thank you for your kind words, we are very grateful that you have taken the time to share your thoughts on our service. We wish you and your family a lifetime of treasured memories.

5 Kate Hewitt 25th Jan 2022
I can not write a review that will praise Simon , Robert , James and the rest of the team highly enough.
Given the time of the year we were faced with a few more obstacles and delays , but Simon was on the ball and took the pressure off the family.
Nothing was too much trouble and we were kept informed all along the way.
Our loved one was treated with dignity and respect and we felt very happy to intrust him into Simon and James care.
The chapel of rest is a very calming and well designed room. We were not rushed and felt very supported when we visited to say our last good bye’s. Our young autistic son aged 8 came with us , Simon made this a much less daunting experience with his advice and help.
Simon came to speak with us about the funeral arrangements on a bank holiday. He also made contact whilst he was on “ holiday” , a true caring gentleman who touched our hearts with his kindness.
Flowers , order of service , extra items and wood work for the coffin all done to an excellent standard. Put into reality what we had in our minds.
A lovely mix of traditional values with a modern day twist , is how I would sum up our experience.
If you want a positivity wonderful and amazingly kind , set of human beings looking after your loved one do not look no further. Professional, knowledgeable and simply the best company around.
Thank you for making a difficult time easier :-)
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Kate, I don't know what to say, we are all so touched by the review you have left on our services, we are so proud to know that we were able to help you all and guide you through what must have been some very emotional days leading up to the service. We take all of your words to our hearts and wish you all happy and lifelong memories to sustain you. -
