Simon and his colleagues are so kind and compassionate with everything they do. They basically take all the stress away and I could not have got through the day without Simon’s support. I’m so grateful.  Sally

Sue Simms 8th Jun 2024

Having never organised a funeral before, we had the most beautiful service for our dad.  I was not looking forward to the day at all given it was bringing an end to our dear dads life but everything was perfect and weirdly I enjoyed it, all our guests commented and said we did dad proud, it was just so right. The team at Crescent made this possible, Bex made it incredibly simple and guided us throughout. She was patient and understanding, our dear mum has dementia & my sister and I were able to visit in the morning and make the decisions for dads service. then we bought mum in the afternoon and Bex went thru the simpler decisions of flowers, hymn & music choice with mum enabling her to be a part of it. She also offered and supported mum when visiting dad in the chapel of rest, my sister and I sat in the peaceful lounge next to the chapel so we were there when mum came out, there was no rush, mum was given plenty of time to go through that process of saying goodbye.  We felt at ease when discussing the process, Bex answered all our questions, nothing was too much trouble. The florist and celebrant were recommended from the Crescent and they were both amazing, our mum chose sunflowers & freesia’s, the arrangement was stunning, little bees had been added to the sunflowers & Gerber's, it was so personal. We chose a garland to go around the coffin and again, it was simple stunning.  Beverly Symmonds was our celebrant and she too was amazing, at the service, she spoke as though she knew our dad.   James & the drivers were also brilliant, we were able to take mums wheelchair & frame. James put us at ease as again it was a very surreal and new experience for us.  The cars were beautiful. And the drivers chatted with us when we instigated the conversation.  Honestly the whole team at Crescent were truly wonderful and know their job well. I have no problem at all with recommending their services. Thank you to you all.

    Simon, thank you for handling everything so smoothly and professionally for the second time in 2 years - firstly for Mum and now for Dad.

    Everyone involved was so helpful during this very emotional time. James and Simon dealt with the whole process so efficiently that we found time and energy to appreciate the onset of spring. Rebecca, in the Langport office, was also very understanding in dealing with our queries. Crescent Funerals provided a first class service in reducing the stress in our loss and all the family and friends who attended the cremation were very grateful for the respect and care given to us but especially to my mother.

    From start to finish Crescent Funeral Services have been excellent. Having never made funeral arrangements before and given the emotional and distressing time that it is, they were caring, considerate, professional and just sorted everything.  They were in touch through the whole process without being overbearing. Simon and his team were amazing and we cannot thank them enough. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.
