We used Amhersts services when our mother passed two years ago and now again with the passing of our father in June. They did every thing they said on time with warm compassion, and never once tried to upsell any of the services we signed up for online. I would whole heartedly recommend Amherst to anybody requiring funeral services.

After researching a few funeral and cremation companies, I decided to go with Amherst based on the many positive reviews, the Georgia Straight awards for Best of Vancouver, their very affordable prices and the fact that unlike many other companies they had their prices clearly listed on their website. I prepaid and did the paperwork in advance at their downtown office, and when my father passed away they did everything as advertised in an efficient and timely manner, including delivery of his ashes to my home which was very ... read more

Thank you for your positive feedback on our service, Jean. Much appreciated!
I’m a Funeral Director in Washington State. A family called me who’s loved one had passed away in Canada and they were trying to get him back to the United States. Not knowing the funeral homes in Vancouver BC, I decided to call around. When I talked to Scott with Amherst I knew this was the funeral home I needed to work with. Scott was able to answer all my questions and put me at ease about the process. After the initial call I worked with Tiana who was equally helpful. She kept in constant contact every day to let me kn... read more

Thank you and first-level service thank you for your support and attention
Under difficult circumstances my youngest daughter was prepared and returned to our family in a timely and dignified manner. Staff was exceptional and helpful and made the situation much easier for my other daughter and I to deal with as we flew across Canada from Winnipeg to Vancouver to retrieve her.
When you have to take care of unfortunate business, Amherst is one of the only Vancouver options providing dignified and affordable service. They can provide an affordable cremation, but they can also do a nice funeral for the same price others charge for cremation only.
