Amherst Funeral and Cremation Services

You don't expect funeral arrangements to be a pleasant experience by virtue of what you and your family have to go through following the death of a loved one, but Scott and Chris at Amherst really made everything as simple as possible and in a way, pleasant. They are professional, punctual, courteous, and really know what they are doing. Both Scott and Chris also seem very genuine and are not trying to trick you and play on your emotions to get you to purchase additional items/services when I've heard stories of bigger funeral homes doing just that. Not only did Amherst help us organize a dignified end of life ceremony in Vancouver but they provided us with all the necessary documents and walked us through the steps of transporting the remains of my father to Ukraine where we had a proper burial. Amherst also gave us additional service cards, so we can share them with loved ones in Ukraine. I highly recommend Amherst's services -- they are run by great people who support you during a challenging time. You will not be disappointed!

I am very satisfied with the services offered by Amherst. At the most difficult time, they made things very straightforward and easy. From making arrangements, to pickup, swift cremation and then them delivering the ashes to my home, I could not have asked for better service. Not only that, but their prices are extremely competitive and transparent. No traps!! I've recommended them to my friends--not that anyone needs their services right now, but when they do, Amherst is who I recommend they call.

I was very satisfied with the sincerity of everyone especially the gentleman who had direct contact with me. He was so kind, polite, yet made me feel like whatever I was feeling was ok and that one day I would be better. Thank-you. It was a double pain as it was the death of my twin...Larry Crosby. The very last of my Family I was born into. So it hurt twice as hard. Thank-you once again! I'm sorry but I forgot the gentleman's name....I was so distraught. But I'll never forget his support.

Outstanding service. We are so thankful for what this company did. They managed to take care of everything and send us mom’s ashes to US during COVID. Very professional, customer service deserves more then 5 stars! Thank you again for outstanding work!

Thanks to the people Amherst who made the process much easier. I wasn't sure what I was doing but they explained to me. And I really appreciate the service bring the paperwork and remains to me directly at my home while we are under Covid.
