During a difficult time, Fatima and her staff at Affordable Burials and Cremations took great care of us every step of the way. Everything was explained in detail and they were so professional, kind, and understanding. Everyone was so respectful from the moment I began preplanning for my father's cremation to the day we received his ashes. Our experience with them was seamless and wonderful. They truly provided us with a sense of comfort and support during this challenging period.

Affordable Burials & Cremations team is awesome. Not only I received the outstanding professional services from the team done properly the first time (twice for both parents), but their thoughtfulness is really beyond my expectation from their kindness and care in the family difficult time.We feel they are there at all times around the clock. I call it an amazing team that I would definitely put thumb up.

I never thought I would say I had a wonderful experience at Affordable Burials and Cremations but truly they helped me get through such a difficult time and made it so much easier with next steps and kindness and lightness of spirit. I can't thank you enough for your exceptional service and support. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Wonderful company and service! They were fabulous in helping me make arrangements after my aunt's passing. They patiently walked me through the arrangement options, costs, timeline, all the government paperwork to be filled plus provided proof of death certificates and a helpful "do-to" checklist afterwards. Everything was very professional and genuinely sympathetic. Thank you Fatima and Tom and everyone at Affordable Burials & Cremations.

This was frankly--a flawless experience from start to finish. With one phone call, they pick up the ball, execute, communicate in just the right time and just the right way, with all details covered in minute detail. You cannot ask for more ease, more relevant information, and a more helpful experience. Simply amazing--an exemplary customer service experience. Outstanding service. Absolutely perfect, from start to finish. These folks have it goin' on...

Their representatives at Affordable Burials and Cremations are compassionate and knowledgeable, guiding me through every step.

During this difficult time and dealing with the Covid-19 outbreak, they also had to navigate new Government regulations that were just activated the day my loved one passed away. They were excellent in keeping me informed of the new processes and updating me at every stage of the process.

Thank you to Andrew, Fatima, and Amanda for your compassion and guidance!

Fatima and the "Affordable Burial and Cremations" team guidance was excellent. The gentle guidance through the whole process made this stage of our family's heart-beak bearable. The team's thorough preparation of the important details which they had already entered onto the documents making them ready for our review and fill in the final signatures and mail them to the Government offices. Thank goodness for the team at Affordable Burial and Cremation for the guidance during this difficult time for our family.

Replace all *(asterisks) with appropriate text in review about Affordable Burials and Cremations:
Affordable Burials and Cremations is a small family run business.
I have used them twice in the past six months.
They are not only extremely professional, but also caring, compassionate and kind.

They are very prompt with their responses, and get the job done, with absolutely no hardships to the grieving family.
They make the process seamless, at the most difficult time.

They are most definitely more than what you would expect from a Funeral Service.

Every staff member I have dealt with over the past six months has been most helpful, kind, compassionate, caring and professional.

Thank you Fatima and Staff for a job well done!

Most sincerely.

The staff at Affordable Burials and Cremations, including Fatima, Amanda, and Andrew, provided us with exceptional service during a challenging time. Despite reaching out to them at 3 in the morning, Fatima promptly returned my call. They efficiently handled all the necessary arrangements, allowing us to focus on other matters. Our family, who resides overseas, also wanted to express their gratitude and appreciation.

Your team has consistently demonstrated thoroughness, compassion, and professionalism. The online process was simple and transparent, without any unexpected fees or additional charges. This streamlined approach greatly facilitated our ability to manage everything within our own schedule. The quoted price aligned perfectly with our needs, and we were pleased that there were no surprises or hidden costs.

I have used Affordable Burials and Cremations twice over the last several years and have been very impressed both times. The staff are kind, professional and sensitive to the nature of the service they provide and the emotional state of those they interact with. They are dignified but friendly too. They make the process as painless and straight forward as possible, from start to finish. And the reasonable prices contributed to the painlessness. They take care of everything and communicate with you every step of the way. Keep up the great work Affordable Burials and Cremations! Sarah (Sally) L.

5/13 I recently entrusted Affordable Burials and Cremations to make arrangements for my late brother's cremation. He had been taken to the coroner's office in Toronto, and I live elsewhere - so I had to choose an unfamiliar company based on location and reviews. Despite the fact that we arranged everything over the phone and by email, I could not be more impressed with the professionalism, thorough and prompt replies, and sensitivity of all the staff I communicated with. I was kept informed throughout the process, and I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of their service. They may also have been the least expensive - but certainly there was nothing lacking that a costlier business could possibly have provided. Very, very glad I chose them - made a very difficult situation seamless. And for the record: I'm rarely impressed enough to write a review.

This is an excellent corporation. We had a funeral service of my wife by them in December . They did a very good job and charged a very reasonable price in comparison with the quotes we got from different funeral homes in the Toronto area. Their name Affordable Burials and Cremations is very suitable.

Their help and provision of outlines on some of the matters needed to be addressed on behalf of the Deceased after the funeral was excellent. It saved us a lot of hard work to find out what to do. They notified the authorities for us on the Deceased's Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS), and Social Insurance Number (SIN). They also partly filled out some of the forms for us that were necessary to submit to the authorities for certain matters.

We appreciate very much the professional and helpful service of Fatima N. during our hard time. She is an excellent staff.

When my dad passed away, I approached a few funeral homes, but ended up working with Affordable Burials & Cremations (ABC) in Toronto to try to respect my dad's wish of keeping things "as simple/basic and as low cost as possible". Working with a very low budget, I never thought it would be possible, let alone easy, to have a meaningful and memorable funeral. With my siblings and most family members out of the country, I needed to make arrangements that would be presentable on video, but the low budget made it really challenging. Fatima not only answered my questions patiently, even though I was asking the same questions repeatedly, almost "nitpicking" as I tried to fit as much as possible without going over the available budget, she also worked with me and gave sensible suggestions to help me achieve a presentable and memorable funeral for my dad. I was actually prepared to walk into the chapel to see only the basics, but to my surprise, Fatima and the talented team at ABC Toronto went above and beyond, applying their creativity to make the most basic as presentable as possible. Our family was surprised, very touched, and very happy with what was done. Up till the very end, they showed support and was very sympathetic, answering every question, and willing to help where possible. We cannot thank them enough for making things so much easier for me and more memorable for our family all over the world. 👍👍👍👍👍 A definite 5 stars for them!
