James and the team at The Crescent made a difficult time easier. They were caring and kind, as well as very organised and professional.
Everything ran smoothly and was exactly as we had asked for it to be.

Simon, Katie and James managed my husband's funeral arrangements with professionalism, empathy, and humanity throughout. Every detail was managed with dignity, respect, and genuine understanding.
What meant the most was the gentle support offered to us as we navigated funeral arrangements at the same time as grieving. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal. Instead, we were guided with patience, warmth, and a level of care that made a difficult journey feel a little easier.
Thank you Simon, Katie and James.Simon Helliar-Moore replied

I cannot rate Simon, Robert and all at the Crescent funeral services highly enough.
We lost mum just before Christmas, and the Crescent came highly recommended. They took care of mum from her passing to the interment with dad last weekend.
Mum was resting in the chapel of rest, with a duvet and pillow, just as though she was sleeping, so the grandchildren were able to say their goodbyes in a relaxed setting.
Loosing someone is a very sad and difficult time, but this was made easier with the caring and kindness of Simon and Robert. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We were able to see mum whenever we wanted to, and they were always at the end of the phone if we had any questions. I would highly recommend the Crescent and will definitely be using their services again if/when i need them.Simon Helliar-Moore replied

5 Nick Ware 23rd Dec 2025
From start to finish we had top tier respect and compassion from both James and Emma who dealt with all the funeral arrangements. It was a perfect service for our most loved family member. Couldn’t recommend a better funeral service. Knowing my nan was in the care of James whilst at the funeral home came with deep relief as we know she was well looked after during her short stay whilst casket and funeral preparations were taking place. When visiting our loved one we was treated with kindness and their deepest condolences came with every minute we was in the presence of any of the team at CFS. We couldn’t thank them all enough for their support and services
James Chorley replied

5 David Savage 12th Jan 2026
Very good communication and organisation, especially from Katie who arranged everything. The only issue was at the crematorium as there was another service talking place when we arrived, as I had double booked a double timeslot for my wife's service to ensure that wouldn't happen and the previous one appeared to overrun.
Katie Rankin replied
Thank you for your kind words David, and thank you for entrusting us to care for your beloved Karen. Best wishes Katie -
5 Kelly Eggbeer 12th Jan 2026
