Sheila Thomson review for Amherst Funeral and Cremation Services

Called Amherst when my husband passed away and they were very accommodating . Scott came to the house and spoke with us. Never once did he try to sell us on anything extra if anything he encouraged us to get some of the extra things ourselves. The ashes were delivered to us and presented very respectfully. We had handouts printed by Amherst and they were very professional and well done. Thank you everyone at Amherst for being so professional and making a very difficult time much easier.

The genuine feeling of compassion as well as personal touch. Coming to my mothers apartment to help me through such a difficult time was amazing. I was flying out within a week and they were able to rush everything through in time. I’ll be eternally grateful

Business Response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Steve. We hope all went well with looking after mom's estate.

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.

Business Response:

Thank you so much for your continued trust in our services, Rob. We truly appreciate your taking time to write such kind, positive feedback. Wishing all the very best to you and family.

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 helpful in a time of great stress. I also really like the memorial pages that they provide for your loved one. My experience with Amherst was very good overall, and I would recommend them to anyone seeking a straightforward cremation package at a reasonable cost. And they never tried to up-sell me on anything or ask me for any additional fees, which is a refreshing way to do business in an industry where companies take advantage of those who are grieving.

Business Response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Marnie. We're glad to have been able to provide positive experience in such difficult times. We truly appreciate your positive feedback. All the best to you and family.

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 know where we were in the process. I enjoyed her positive can-do attitude. I would highly recommend Amherst funeral home. Whether you are a funeral professional like myself who needs assistance in the area or a family whose loved one has passed away and you need assistance at your time of need, you cannot go wrong with placing your trust in this firm.

Business Response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Bryan. We're certainly honoured that your funeral home chose Amherst to help with your effort to serve your family. We truly appreciate the positive feedback and thank you for your vote of confidence. PS: Tiana has indeed been such a wonderful staff member of ours. We're lucky to have her.
