Thank you to Katie for her organisation and excellent delivery of my late mother's funeral. It was exactly what she and us, her family wanted. Throughout the whole process Katie and the team listened to and understood our needs. Turning them into a true celebration of my mother's long life. Katie's kindness, compassion and professionalism have been outstanding guiding us through every step. I would not hesitate to recommend Crescent Funeral Services. Thank you again for making a potentially emotionally difficult time stress free.

James and his colleagues have provided excellent care to my father since his passing.
They have made a very stressful and emotional time more bearable, easing the burden on my family and organising everything for us.
Myself and my family cannot thank James and his colleagues enough for the care and compassion they have shown us.
I would highly recommend their services.

5 Charlie Farrand 30th Jul 2025
Crescent Funeral Service helped me when I needed them most. They organised the cremation date and time ,the order of service ,music ,photos and the day went very well. Of course that is what you would expect but it was all done with good communications, smiles, and explanations. All I had to do was organize a place for the after funeral tea. I would use them again probably when I decide that it is my turn to cross to the other side or heaven if they will have me!
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Charlie, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us on our services, your kindness and humour have always been appreciated in our dealings with you. We all wish you and the family many happy memories of Lesley to sustain you. -

Thank you Simon and Robert and the team at Crescent for making a difficult time a little less stressful.

5 Andrew Williams 12th Jul 2025
My Mum and I were recommended to Crescent Funeral Services by friends of ours, SIMON came round to explain the funeral plan to my mum and I and we all agreed it was the appropriate thing to do, fortunately we didn’t have to use the plan for a few years but when we did everything fell into place, a lot of the worry was taken away from us so that we could concentrate on grieving for my Mum’s passing. I personally like to thank James and his team for making it easy for us and giving the personal and sympathetic touch, everything was laid out nice and easy. Everything was explained and actually on the day we couldn’t have wished for a better funeral to celebrate my Mum’s life so I’d like to say a big thank you from me to all the staff at Crescent Funeral Services and that’s from my mum as well.
James Chorley replied

Dear Shirley, we’re so happy to have met your needs and are humbled that you feel we went the extra mile. We certainly try to get a good picture of the person in our care, and are pleased we were able to make things that little bit more special by including Michael’s love of Plymouth Argyle.

Simon, Robert, Katie and the whole team at Crescent were absolutely amazing. Thier kind compassionate care of my late Mum, my family and myself went above and beyond to make such a horrible time in our life as smooth and as easy as possible.
They helped me organise everything, and helped me so much, nothing was too much trouble, without them I would not have gotten through it.
The service they gave my mum on the day, what they delivered and organised was amazing and all with such care, pride and compassion. It felt as if they were looking after their own loved one from the minute my mum went into their care.
For anyone unfortunately in the position of needing this service, I can not recommend Crescent enough. Every single member of staff.......you are all wonderful and fabulous at what you do. Thank you.🥰💐Simon Helliar-Moore replied

5 Caroline Lawson 5th Jun 2025
I would like to thank Simon and his wonderful team at Crescent Funeral Services for their brilliant and professional expertise in looking after planning and execution of Christine Lawson's funeral service today. Could I also say a big thank you to Tim Hodge for his wonderful planning of Christine's service and the excellent way he conducted it.
I know Chris would have been very proud of the way everything was handled and I believe all who attended would agree that it could not have been more professionally done.
With thanks,
John and family
