Crescent Funeral Services

5 Angela May 18th Jun 2024

From day one we met James who made us feel very comfortable making arrangements for my mothers funeral. Nothing was too much trouble and even arranged for flowers in the shape of an irish setter. On the day the staff were all fantastic and the Celebrant had a clear voice and came over perfectly.

From our initial call to inform CFS of our lovely Dad's death until his 'celebration of life' funeral, we could not have asked for more from Simon & his staff.. empathy & compassion along with a few laughs to lighten the mood & with an infinite an attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CFS to provide the best possible service at such difficult times.

Simon , Robert , James and the team are just the most caring and supportive people at a sad time, They took care of my mum and supported my wife and I through a difficult time. From James taking the first call from me on the Death of my mum through to the cremation and after I could not ask for a more caring , professional supportive team.

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 and his team were absolutely first rate in sorting out every single detail of my mother's funeral for us, and I really could not have asked for better. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Emma Britton, the celebrant was equally excellent. Finally, because these things matter to me, the Daimler looked fantastic.

5 Sally Traynor 20th May 2024

5 Vince Massey 8th Apr 2024

From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt comfortable and at ease.
I was met by Simon first he gave me the confidence to relax and let the pressure of what to do next disappear. He explained every thing that needed to be done in a kind and way and, an understanding way. I felt that nothing was too much trouble and nothing was, I also met James, kind and understanding, putting me at ease when I got a little confused, he sorted out my problems, again taking pressure of me. I only met Robert once, when I delivered photos, again warm and friendly. I never met Rebecca, only ever heard the sound of her voice, confidant and reassuring. Our driver to the Crematorium, Jason, was excellent, greeting us calmly at the pickup and afterwards nothing was too much trouble to return us home.
Excellent team work throughout, they did my sister and me proud.

From our first meeting with Simon, we knew that my dad was in safe hands and that we would be looked after. We were listened to and cared for.  The team were patient with me when I wanted to see the order of service and were prompt in getting back to me. The  service itself honoured my dad.
