5 Claire Cottuli De Cothi 1st Feb 2021
If I could give six stars I would, I had never arranged a funeral before and simon and his team where absolutely amazing. From start to finish they where caring, kind,considerate and very understanding of what my mother wishes where for her funeral. We arrange funerals in two different venues and had both on webcam it was absolutely lovely and without simon and his team it wouldn’t of been so special.
Thank you all so much you deserve all the five stars and to be top rated in Taunton. Highly recommend.

5 Andrew Waine 21st Jan 2021
My Dads wishes were to keep things as simple as possible. I was concerned that because it was not going to be be a grand funeral he would not get the attention he deserved. From the moment of that first call the empathy/ respect we received from Simon and his team was exceptional. The calm and reassuring follow up calls were very supportive as we were guided through the next steps and who does what and when. It was clear that such conversations can go at whatever pace the client wants or needs. Nothing was too much trouble and for that I sincerely thank the Crescent team. I fully recommend the service and the respectful nature of their dealings throughout a difficult time.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Andy, Thank you for your kind words, we are pleased we could meet your Dads requests and give you peace of mind at the same time that he would be afforded all the respect of anyone in our care regardless of the level of Funeral Services required. We wish you and the family a lifetime of happy memories and a big Thank You again from my team and I for taking the time to share your thoughts. -
5 Brian Parish 12th Jan 2021
I was very impressed with this company when they managed everything so effectively and compassionately for my mum's funeral 2 years ago that I had no hesitation in calling on them again when the need arose. Once again everything was just as it should be. You only get one chance to get a funeral right and Simon understands how important it is.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Brian, Thank you for asking us to look after you and the family again and for you and the children we wish you a lifetime of happy memories. Your thoughts on our services are so greatly appreciated. -

5 Tracey White 26th Dec 2020
I have to say both Simon and Robert have shown our family such a dignified ,professional and caring attitude.From start to finish Crescent Funerals have thought about everything all the little things, they have taken away much stress and worry.Given that we are in a pandemic they have been so caring helping us and have indeed treated our family with the upmost respect during these crazy times. Simon and Robert you have such an amazing team of colleagues that work with you all of them bring a different thing to the table and it certainly makes Crescent Funerals stand out with pure goodness and professionalism all round.we thank you for everything and wouldn't use anybody else going forward ever again. There are other funeral services out there but then there is Crescent ! They to us stand out from all the rest !.
Thank you Tracey and Jane .Robert Helliar-Moore replied

4 Ian Phillips 20th Dec 2020
The service provided by Simon and his team was unquestionably impressive. They attended to all the details of the funeral service, the arrangements with the cars, a beautiful floral tribute, faultless presentation of the Order of Service and guidance with the music with the utmost tact, sensitivity and compassion.
The photographic tribute set to music was extremely moving, and the recommendation of Emma Britton as the celebrant was a perfect choice. Simon was able to think ahead at a time when we as a family could not, and very thoughtfully arranged for a chair to be provided for my father during the graveside commendation. The only blip concerned the access to the webcast during the ceremony itself, which meant that certain members of the family were unable to view the service as it was being live-streamed. In spite of that, I would have no hesitation whatsoever in wholeheartedly recommending Crescent Funeral Services.Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Ian, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and for your kind words about our services. We hope you and your family have a lifetime of wonderful memories of your dear mum. -
5 Kath Easthope 15th Dec 2020
Simon and the team are incredible - warm, compassionate and with an attention to detail that gives you confidence from the moment you start the process of planning a funeral. We were so grateful for the level of support, as well as the advice and the focus on the finer details. We were able to say goodbye to Dad in the most special way possible, and that was in no small part down to the team at Crescent. Thank you for everything.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Kath, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on our services.

Simon was a pillar of support to us in our most difficult time of the sudden loss of our mother. He was sensitive and understanding, and helped make all the arrangements so we had less to worry about, including selecting a great celebrant to conduct the service.
