Welcome to Amherst Funeral Home Services and Cremation

Amherst is the leader in providing simple, affordable and dignified funeral, cremation, burial and memorial services. Our award-winning services have continued to become the gold standard for respectful care for both the departed and the surviving family (please read testimonials from families we served). Amherst is fully licensed and experienced to provide a full range of services any traditional funeral home has to offer. We offer a wide variety of Urns and Caskets to help fit your needs. We serve entire Lower Mainland: from Hope to West Vancouver. Our mission is to bring you simple, easy-to-understand and comprehensive cremation, burial and funeral service packages with up-front pricing, no hidden-fees, no hassle, and no sales pressure. We honour Memorial Society Memberships: we serve all members of any memorial society or funeral co-op, honouring prices currently in effect for those members (Although honestly, our current prices are lower than theirs).
