#R. Scott McFarlane owner of #Amherst Funeral & #Cremation Services Inc. The Best is Simply Affordable & privately owned. Their respect in every aspect with no high pressure. Always listening, going the extra mile to please. Their Slumber Room is like a small Chapel to pay your final respects with/out loved one resting. Available parking on a Saturday is more available. I've referred seven families to them.

Working with Amherst when our son died made the process so much easier. They went above and beyond to make a very awful situation just a little better. They had personalized service and even came and picked up our son's urn from our home. They navigated the paperwork which was so beyond us at the time and dealt directly with the authorities to get him home quickly. I cannot recommend Amherst enough.

We have used Amherst for both my mother and father and their service, professionalism and value has been outstanding each time. They took care of all details, assisted with death certificates, survivor benefits, etc and made everything very easy. I would definitely recommend them.

- returned calls - explained services very well - very understanding - after talking to Christian the very first time, I have no doubt at all to have my mom's cremation done by Amherst

They were wonderful. They took a task that I can only imagine would be tedious and stressful for many and made it simple and stress free. This is never a good time for anyone but their skill, compassion and efficiency let me spend time on other issues surrounding my mother's passing. Thank you

My parents prepaid through Amherst Funeral and Cremation and we have been very pleased with the service. The last thing you want to think about in the hours after someone dies is how to handle the cremation or funeral. Having it already in place - for some years in their cases - was such a relief. The staff are very kind and helpful.
