Our Funeral Home Testimonials

Affordable Cremation & Burial (Westshore) is the best cremation service from Port Renfrew to Victoria to Nanaimo (bar none). Lauren and her team provided me the more valuable info. that other local funeral services failed to give me which made the process with no pressure, easy and smooth all located in such a gorgeous and serene setting for smaller gatherings. I cannot say enough....10+ stars in my book all the way! Thank you so much Lauren to you and everyone of your wonderful staff members for taking great care of my beautiful sister-in-law Donna ... as well as us, the grieving family and friends she left behind. Kindest regards, Laura & Edward Gorse

Dear Staff

I appreciate the care you took with my darling Fred.  As difficult as it was to face, your staff made me feel comfortable at this hard time.  I feel you did everything just right.

Thank you for your expert knowledge on taking care of my husband.  I have decided to keep him here to be placed with me when I die. 

We had been together over 50 years.  I always considered myself lucky that he chose me to love. 

My son can look after the arrangements hopefully in the long distance future.

Sincerely,

Viola

Thank you so much for the services that you provided after the death of my husband. The kindness of the staff was much appreciated and everything went smoothly. Everything was handled professionally and with great care. Thank you so much for making a difficult time that much better with your service and your staff.

Affordable Cremation provided our family with a professional, thoughtful, and respectful experience with our mom's passing. Not only was the pre-planning helpful, but our wishes were followed out with no concerns or complications whatsoever. The cost was much less than expected. Lauren and Joseph are amazing and caring. I am using the Peacehold documentation service, which has been very, very good as well—so thorough and such a stress-free experience.

- Krista 

So appreciative of the very reasonably priced services provided at a very difficult time: ease of planning with a well-designed website, prompt response to phone/email questions, dignified attendance to our beloved mother, prompt delivery of urn and death certificates, ease of obituary notification via website. No pressure tactics! Thank you so much, from the entire family.

My father recently passed while I was out of town. To my relief, Affordable Cremation provided stellar service as they handled every detail with amazing care and kindness. The thing that stood out the most was the fact that it didn't matter who answered the phone, all staff seemed to be well informed and as a result I was never required to explain the situation repeatedly. My father was cared for with dignity and respect. I highly recommend their services. They truly are affordable without cutting corners.

- Larry

We were so pleased with the excellent service. Thanks to the staff who were so kind, and very efficient.  We would highly recommend this business.

-  Larry & Judy

The staff at Affordable Cremation & Burial were incredibly professional, understanding and patient during the arrangements process for my father. Understandably it was a difficult time, but I found the staff's demeanour helped to put me at ease. They were extremely organized and took care of all of the details big and small. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you to Joseph who was particularly kind and helpful.

- Victoria

The care and compassion and immediate response by Affordable Cremation & Burial representatives was of great comfort to myself with the death of my sister.  A clear understanding of what would be taken care of, and how, helped to alleviate the distress of dealing with a funeral. Your smiles and kind words, when meeting with you, were a balm for the difficult days ahead.  And all further contact was, again, handled with care.  Many thanks for your excellent service provided with care and grace.

- Nancy

Affordable Cremation & Burial helped with every step along the way and made the process, which was new to me, simple and worry free.  Choices were presented without sales pitches and all communications were thoughtful and respectful.  They also provided all the paperwork I needed to notify government agencies etc. which was very much appreciated.  I hope not to use their service again for a long time but won’t hesitate to when needed.  Highly recommended.

- Patty

Joseph and everyone else I dealt with at Affordable was wonderful; warm and yet efficient. And with so many things to do after the death of my mother I appreciated that all the documents could be signed digitally. Communication was clear and quick.

- Doug

All the staff were very helpful and professional and guided us through the process in the death of my husband Clifford.  Lauren was so helpful with answering our many questions and made a difficult time easier for our family to process. Thank you so much for all you did for our family.
