About Us
A Truly Independent Funeral Service in Taunton and surrounding communities. Offering a complete and inclusive service from Simon Helliar-Moore - supporting families in Somerset since 1994.
With over twenty five years’ experience in caring for the bereaved, Simon and his team at Crescent Funeral Services offer a wealth of knowledge in helping their families at a very difficult time.
Crescent Funeral Services can offer inclusive and affordable service options.
A bespoke and tailored Funeral Service is also offered. Working with our families, we ensure that their wishes are transformed in to a Funeral Service that represents a true reflection of their loved one.
Crescent Funeral Services were awarded accreditation by the Good Funeral Guide and delighted to have been awarded Runner Up in the ‘Best New Funeral Director’ category in the 2017 Good Funeral Awards.
Offering an open, relaxed and friendly approach, Simon and his team pride themselves on providing an independent, transparent and trustworthy service. Every member of staff has been a part of the local community in the Taunton area for many years and are proud to be providing their town with a service they can trust.
Conveniently appointed in the centre of the County Town of Taunton, Crescent Funeral Services stands within the Historic Crescent mews.
Previously a coach house to those residing in The Crescent, our sensitively furnished Funeral Home offers a space away from the hustle and bustle of day to day Taunton, allowing comfort and peace to the families we have the great privilege of assisting, through the arrangement of their loved one’s Funeral Service.
We are pleased to offer the convenience of being the closest Funeral Director to the Registry Office, situated in the Old Municipal Buildings, providing families a convenient place to leave their car in our complimentary parking spaces, whilst attending the registry office to begin the administrative needs when a loved one passes away.
A short walk through Bath Place will bring you out at the Registry Office.
Our Funeral Home also has a space designed for our families to come and spend time with their loved one on the days leading up to the Funeral Service. This space has been dedicated and blessed by local clergy from a mixture of faiths but is equally a place of tranquillity and reflection for those who do not wish for a faith led service.
Our Funeral Home is proud to be able to offer a warm welcome to our disabled clients with all our facilities being situated on the ground floor.
For more details or if you wish to visit the Funeral Home, please contact Crescent Funeral Services where Simon, Robert and James will be happy to help you or invite you in for a chat over coffee.
It has been said that like the Crescent Moon, Crescent Funeral Services are a gentle guiding light in the darkness of times.
