Reviews of Amherst Mortuary Service Centre (Mortuary)

Elsie Choi

Living in Seattle area, I didn't have the chance to say goodbye to my mum when she passed away at the hospice. She had wished for simple cremation. However, I was very glad that Amherst was able to provide me with a simple viewing for few moments to say goodbye to my mum at their little chapel in Coquitlam. And they didn't charge me exorbitant prices I had been warned of what other funeral homes would typically charge me for the same service. I am very thankful there's still dignified company left in this industry. I had meaningful and intimate goodbye with my mum at their humble yet lovely chapel facility. I would recommend them to anyone in need of such service.

Extremely professional. Fast and a great price. Communication was very smooth and they made a hard time very efficient and easy. They even came to our house and gave us all the appropriate documents. We would recommend their services again and again.

Scott was helpful and the chapel is a nice and quiet place to send off your loved ones.

Grieving is not the time to make decisions however some had to be made. Initially we were going to choose the funeral home where my sons body was taken but the police provided a list of alternatives. I was skeptical since the price was so much lower than we had been quoted. On arrival to Amherst I was not quite sure because of the warehouse atmosphere and minimalistic office. However, Jim turned that all around for me. He was most sincere and empathetic to my sons fiancé and I. From the beginning to end the entire process was handled with much professionalism and dropping the ashes off to our home made the process so much easier. We paid for a basic package but was very happy with it and did not feel we received a lesser service.

I lost my mom few months back. Though her wishes had been for no-service cremation, my sister didn't quite make it in time to see her last days at the hospital. Amherst was able to give her and our family a chance to say goodbye one last time at their facility. They made her look so peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for giving us that precious moments for saying goodbye at this chapel and for the reasonable costs to allow us to do so.
