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* 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 could 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 qui ... more

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.

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 for. 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.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied

- 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. Alison Williams Gillian Day-Golt Joyce Day

Crescent Funeral Directors were amazing and made my fathers funeral very personal. They helped his grandchildren and my children aged 15* and 5* be apart of the whole thing. My son who is 5* walked with Simon and led my father in as well as allowing us to have a high fire service presence with an engine and plenty of fire fighters too. Thank you very much Crescent Funeral Directors for helping my dad have the most fitting service he as a hero deserved. I would highly recommend Crescent Funeral Directors.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Marion, Donna and Colette and families, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings about your beloved Dad's Service.

- 5* Jane Bull 12th Aug 2018
I can not say how fortunate we were to have crescent funeral Services to arrange our daughters funeral. There was nothing that Simon and his team could not do for us. They we’re very professional yet very family orientated and on the day they could not do enough to assist in any way. Although I would not wish anyone the heartbreak that our family has just gone through I do not believe that we would have got through it without the help and strength of Simon and the guys a big thank you to all of them and I will be recommending them to all family and friends.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied

I cannot thank Jason and the team enough for everything they did from the first meeting to making sure things went smoothly on the day.

- 5* Josh Welch 29th Apr 2018
I would recommend Simon Helliar-Moore and his team of consummate professionals very highly to carry out the funeral arrangements of a loved one. From my experience, they were kind and caring, and showed a genuine interest in the person who had passed-away, the family and their wishes for the funeral arrangements. Nothing was too much trouble and they were only too pleased to help with any questions or changes, even at late notice. The planning was made easy and they took care of all of the necessary intricacies required at a difficult and upsetting time. The family had full say over every aspect of the funeral, even down to how they wanted the service to commence and run. Simon and his team are also extremely respectful and accommodating, and offer an excellent 24/7 service to enable you to visit your loved one in their care. This extremely difficult time for a family is therefore made far more manageable by the way that they conduct their business. Highly recommended.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Josh and Norman, we are overwhelmed by your comments on the experience you have received from us. We are so grateful to you for taking the time to share your thoughts. On a personal note, it was a great privilege for me to come alongside you during the loss of your beloved mum and wife. We all wish you the very best for the coming months and years and a lifetime of wonderful memories of a lady who was a true inspiration to so many.

- 5* Tricia Staple 10th Apr 2018
Where to start? Simon and team were wonderful from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always there for me, day or night. They were sympathetic and compassionate without being cloying - and highly professional. Simon always allowed me to lead, but was equally ready with suggestions if I needed help. If I have omitted mention of anything, it is my lack, not theirs. They turned a bleak time into one of joy, hope and humour.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
Dear Tricia, Many thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, we were so honoured that you chose us to look after your beloved Mother and we are pleased to have met your expectations. Best WIshes, Simon and the team x
- 5* Lorna Turner 8th Apr 2018
I can not praise Crescent Funeral Services enough, from the moment of ringing to book the appointment to the day of the service, they have been outstanding in every aspect of the service they offer.
I would highly and in fact only recommend them, the day was truly amazing and ran like clockwork but most importantly was stress free, they did a wonderful job.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied

- 5* Sue Limm 25th Feb 2018
I can’t praise Simon and his team enough, from the day of our mums death to the interment of her ashes, they were there for us. When our father died we used another company and never again will we recommend anybody else but Simon and his team. Nothing was too much trouble, even accommodating the arrival of mums siblings and families from Lancashire late the day before the service for them to say their personal goodbyes to her. His hugs are amazing and you never feel that it’s just business but that they really care, Thank you Sue Limm

Simon and Robert were absolutely brilliant and all contact we had with them was very personal. The floral tribute - which included fruit and vegetables truly reflected Henry's personality. We thank them for all their help and support and for their very caring approach at a very difficult time.

When you find yourself losing a loved one the last thing you need is the stress of organising a funeral. At Crescent Funeral Services Simon and his colleagues were amazing. After my first meeting with Simon I came out feeling a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. The attention to detail taken from my wishes discussed with him were over and beyond my expectations.
My mum was in good hands my mum passed away in hospital Simon even telephoned me to say 'I have mum now and i will look after her' I felt at home with them they supported me all the way through the process; held my hand if you like. I cannot thank them enough for their professional and compassionate treatment towards my family and I. One never wants to be in a position to recommend this service as it means someone has lost a loved one, however I would definitely recommend Simon and his team they are a 5* independent service.

Simon & the team are without a doubt the best in the area. Compassionate & willing to go the extra mile to help. Made things very easy at a difficult time. Would not hesitate to recommend to anybody.

Everyone at Crescent Funeral Services were kind compassionate and caring. Myself and my family felt that they took a lot of pressure off of us and that meant a lot. We're very grateful.
The service itself was beautiful and yet again everyone from Crescent Funeral Services were professional, kind and reassuring.
Myself and my family highly recommend them. They made a very difficult time a lot easier to bear and gave us some better memories of Mums passing.

Simon and his lovely team have been incredible and so supportive through our dark time. I can't express enough our thanks and gratitude in how much care and dignity they took over my dad. Everybody needs a Simon when dealing with such a devastating issue.
Both myself and my family would recommend Crescent Funeral Service time and time again

Very unobtrusive, helpful, compliant to our wishes for a simple and low-key ceremony. Generated a feeling that we were in a safe set of hands. Easy to talk to.

We were extremely pleased with the service Robert and Simon at Crescent funerals gave us . They relieved us of all worries and concerns about the funeral of my father and really understood how we were feeling. We recommend Crescent Funeral Directors to those looking for a genuine, friendly and professional service.
Simon Helliar-Moore replied
