Simon and his team were perfect for us in every way, we would recommend them wholeheartedly at what is always the most difficult of times. They were there for us every step of the way with a perfect combination of professionalism and kindness. A big thankyou to everyone at Cresent Funeral Services from all of the Dean family.

From the moment we met with Crescent Funeral Services they were helpful and compassionat with arranging a perfect service for our mum. They helped us find a Celebrate who was amazing, a florist who made a beautiful arrangement all at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend them.

We were so pleased to find a funeral director that offered the service we were looking for, simple but respectful.
Communications were calmly delivered, every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble for them.
We were kept informed of everything and we felt very supported .
Robert has the perfect manner sensitive, thorough, patient and kind.
Nothing could be improved upon in our eyes and we wish to tgank hi

5 Joanna Hartholt 5th Feb 2019

I can’t recommend Crescent highly enough. They made an extremely sad and stressful period a lot less painful with the time, kindness and care they afforded me. Never too busy to sit and have a chat with me, always replied to my emails promptly and did their utmost to answer all my queries and accommodate all my requests. So impressed by their flexibility, attention to detail and professionalism. Their passion for their work and dedication to both the deceased and their loved ones is evident. Thank you all so much. 

5 Rod & Liz Pepperell 28th Jan 2019

At such a difficult time Rob & Simon were very professional, kind and thoughtful. I can recommend Crescent Funeral Services to all for their caring and attention to detail, nothing was too much trouble both before and after the service.

5 Brian Parish 14th Jan 2019

These people know you only get one chance to get this right and engage accordingly. From the first phone call and follow-up email my confidence was high. This was justified throughout the process of arrangements and ultimately everything passed off as we wished it would. First class in every aspect.

5 Nina Hurst-Jones 8th Jan 2019

The service received from Robert from start to finish was professional and caring. You and your team helped us to achieve the send off Paul would have wanted and we appreciate all your help and advice to us during this time. Thank you so much.

We are so very pleased to have chosen Crescent Funeral Services to take care of the funeral arrangements for our dear David. Thank you so much to Robert and his team whose compassion, caring, professional and empathetic nature eased our burden at a time of great sorrow. They helped to deliver a funeral service that was very poignant, respectful and truly met our needs.

Very professional & sympathetic at this difficult time - Simon could not have been more helpful in arranging everything from acknowledgements/flowers & everything else to make sure we gave dad a good send off

5 Sandra Cropper 23rd Dec 2018

Where do we start ! 
We actually went to another well known and sadly previously used Funeral Directors that we had used for our dad 
When we got in there it did feel differently but we coyid not put our finger on it .
Eventually things started to change and we found out the company had sold out to a franchisee and they were not really who/what we thought so we decided not too use them (however they had already collected our mum so we needed to get her picked up to the new place that as yet we had not decided) 
A message from a friend who knew Crescent Funerals sent us there and all we can say is just thank god for this message coming in our hour of need !
From the moment we walked in to the internment of our mums ashes we have been made to feel that our mum was loved and cared for , was kept safe and comfortable and was treated with the uptmost respect at all times !
In fact when we got there we explained where we thought our mum was and asked them to collect her as quickly as possible which they tried to sort , however unknown to us they had taken mum to a different location without telling us ( this eoykd be why we were told we couldn’t see our mum for two days because they probably had no space for her age eiyjd be shipping her in and out not a thought  we cherished ) it took Simon and his team lots of calls and extra work ( for which they have not charged ) to get mum into their care at the end of the day 
Simon was and is the most caring and understanding person in this field , nothing too much trouble nothing that can’t be done , he listened to everything we said ( some of which we don’t even recall ) and he and his team carried out the most beautiful service from start to finish without drama and without changing the goalposts at anytime !
Previously when we used the other director for dad our costs doubled and the service was cold and probably just standard 
Our mum was not a cold or standard lady , she was warm , beautiful, bright and loving , the funeral that Simon and his team gave us showcased all of those attributes and more besides , simply amazing service and we would not of got that from anyone else.
I feel so so fortunate that we found them , they work with Roger Knight , a celebrant who also is amazing and who gave the best for mum his poem has made us understand “The Garden “ in a whole different meaning , look him up 
Robert who assisted the next day in our mums internment was also wonderful, just caring , loving and great attention to detail , again nothing too much trouble 
All in all , death is very very very sad , there is never a great time and somehow Xmas makes no difference, however if you find yourself in our shoes you would or could never find a more professional, loving , caring ,compassionate group of people who help you in this sad sad time and make you feel that your loved one and yourselves are all that truly matters !
Simon , Robert , Roger and all the team , to many to name but you know who you are , your all simply the best out there and you make an awful time so much easier to get through 
We as a family are eternally grateful and so so pleased the franchise place in Taunton failed us because we found you !
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts xxxxxxxxx❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

5 Robert Mehrlich 7th Dec 2018

From start to finish crescent funeral services were amazing. Simon and the team were so caring and professional. Nothing was too much trouble, any questions we had were answered promptly. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Simon and Robert for everything.

5 Audrey Norris 3rd Dec 2018

Simon & the lovely guys at The Crescent, made, a really difficult time so so much easier. 
From my first phone enquiry to the funeral service, Simon did everything he could to help in any way he could, what a lovely sent off for my mum. 

5 Stacey Mcloughlin 28th Nov 2018

Thank you so much. I cannot reccomend nor praise you enough. From the moment I called to now the care I received was second to none , always at the end of a phone to answer questions and went above and beyond to help with our wishes for our daughter. So thank you.

5 Christopher Cronk 28th Nov 2018

Firstly, a very sincere thank you to Simon and the team at Crescent Funerals. We were treated with great respect and nothing was too much trouble. We received good communication by way of email and phone. Setting the wheels in motion was very simple. We didn’t have to pay a deposit upfront, which was a big plus when the family finances are still to be sorted out.
The service went off exactly as planned and our loved one received the send off he deserved.
When the need for funeral services arise again I would not hesitate to use Crescent again and whole heartedly recommend them.

5 Amanda Trimby 24th Nov 2018

Simon and his team are excellent full of compassion and at every stage we were well inform. They go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly.  

5 Kay Britter 11th Nov 2018

Crescent Funeral Services couldn’t have done more for us. We felt at ease the moment we met Simon and felt cared for throughout the whole process. Everything went beautifully smoothly and the day of the cremation was as you would hope fore. From the time the cars turned up to the time we were dropped  off at the wake.
I’m my opinion, they went above and beyond to make our day as it should be.
I would like to thank Simon and everyone at Crescent Funeral Services for the service they supplied in our sad time.

5 Joyce Day 20th Oct 2018

First impressions count, and as soon as we walked into the premises of Crescent Funeral Services Ltd we were warmly welcomed and felt really quite at ease with Simon. He listened to what we wanted and guided us where appropriate.

The webcam service from the crematorium was certainly a wonderful suggestion as it allowed family and friends from all around the world to feel part of the funeral service.

The respect, support and kindness shown by all of Simon's team throughout the whole process was second to none.

We felt Simon went the extra mile by personally bringing Dad's ashes home to us the very next day.

We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Simon and his wonderful team to you. Entrust your loved one into his care and you can be assured of a highly professional and personal service at all times.

Nothing was too much for him and every request was accommodated. 5 Stars for this local business.
