Our family unexpectedly lost our mother while she was visiting from outside of the country. We contacted ABC because of all the good reviews we read. Each is well-deserved and we are here to add one more. The service was second to none. They walked us through all the necessary arrangements with compassion and care and took care of many of the logistics on our behalf. We are deeply grateful to them for the level and quality of service that they provided and would highly recommend them.Efeso Dos Santosread more

I learned about ABC from a brochure that they had left at Wexford Residence. The nursing home suggested that I make advance arrangements for my mother as she was 101 years old and I did so online back in February. It was very easy to navigate their website and when the time came in November all I had to do was make one phone call and everything was handled professionally , efficiently, and courteously . There were no high pressure sales pitches and the fee for their services was very reasonable. Fatima ensured that everything went smoothly and no detail was overlooked. I would certainly recommend ABC to anyone who requires this service.read more

I am very pleased to have this opportunity to express how pleased I was with your services. As the Estate Trustee, I was entrusted by the deceased and his family to make appropriate arrangements for his cremation and burial. While significant resources were available for a “Grand Celebration”, the deceased had requested modest arrangements be made. Honoring these wishes, I turned to Affordable Burials and Cremations, and was impressed with the ease with which all arrangements could be made, and while not an issue for me with this Estate, the value pricing. I did have one concern, which was that with such economical pricing, might the personal service and all arrangements seem “cheap”, which would not have been appropriate. I had no reason for any concern. As I dealt with ABC, their compassion and respect to my needs and the deceased were uncompromised. When time came to pick up the deceased from his home, ABC arrived promptly and with the greatest of respect and dignity took care of all arrangements for the removal, cremation and paperwork to my, and the families, complete satisfaction. Looking back, I really should not have had any concerns, the Newbigging Family has been providing quality, professional and respectful support to families in Toronto for many decades, and they are continuing this level of superior service at ABC.read more

Our experience with Fatima and Andrew was warm, pleasant and professional all at the same time. They we clear about the services that their company provides and acted accordingly upon our request. They were always respectful and delivered as promised. We required an affordable cremation service as per the deceased's request without a lot of bells and whistles. If this is the type of service one requires... We would recommend Affordable Burials and Cremations without reservation.read more

I live in Las Vegas, and my mom passed away in Toronto. She had wanted to be cremated, and I had no idea how to go about any of it. My friend in Toronto recommended a few places, and I Googled some myself. The places that I called first were difficult to contact, expensive and, pushy. Fatima at ABC was professional, kind, and extremely helpful. Their prices were reasonable, the service was impeccable, and I couldn’t have done it without them. I would highly recommend Fatima and ABC to anyone in need. I can’t thank them enough.read more

My Aunt recently passed away in Scarborough and I came across ABC when researching cremation options. The website was informative and straight forward and the staff (especially Fatima) were extremely kind, helpful and compassionate throughout the entire process. I was comforted to know that my Aunt was being looked after but such professional and caring people. The quote provided was exactly what I was charged and was very detailed with no hidden costs.read more

Information on the ABC website is easy to understand, and the on-line booking is straight forward. There is no hidden costs in addition to the services we want.Andrew, the Owner of ABC, was most helpful in our initial meeting taking us through the whole process with compassion and answered all of our questions.Fatima has provided us with a very professional caring service, and she was extremely helpful in explaining the process and helping us through the cremation. Her reaching out to us proactively was effective and comforting.The personalized folder with information and the necessary forms to be completed for filing with the various government agencies was most helpful. Thanks ABC for helping us out during these difficult and grieving moments. We will not hesitate in recommending ABC to anyone.The Yuen familyread more

My father was going to pass away from cancer so I was researching funeral homes as we had NO idea of what to do. I came across Affordable Burials & Cremations and had seen that they were an excellent organization. The reviews are true, especially about Fatima. She was very sincere and helpful, she actually feels for you with empathy. She guided our family the whole way until the end. Our family wanted to do a Buddhist ceremony at the Chapel with more extended time than was listed on their site. She was very accommodating. The chapel was just the right size and comfortable. Lots of parking too for visitors. I loved that ABC's services are very flexible and customizable. They accommodate all sorts of budgets. The prices were more than fair. All in all, I highly recommend anyone who needs funeral services. The entire staff at ABC is amazing!read more

ABC was recommended by a close friend after my mother passed much sooner than expected. Their online booking was straightforward with no hidden costs. What you were quoted was what you paid.Andrew was most helpful in taking me through the process with compassion and answered all of my questions. At no time was I pressured to purchase services I didn’t want or need.Fatima was most helpful in explaining the process before and after cremation. And finally, Amanda provided a complete personalized folder with all the documents I would be required to handle as Executor after my mother’s passing. Their service was kind and professional from start to finish. I appreciated it especially at this difficult time. I highly recommend ABC without reservation!Taru Virkamakiread more

ABC was recommended to my sister and I during the lead up to a loved one's passing in palliative care. ABC's assistance in dealing with all of the things that need to be done, which no one ever really thinks about -- save for the professionals, thankfully -- was invaluable, and greatly appreciated by our family.Between creating a personalized folder with all of the necessary documents to be submitted to various government agencies following one's death, and handling transportation of our loved one's remains at every stage post mortem, ABC's full service outlook for their clients did not go unnoticed.I would recommend them without hesitation, as the services they provide at what is usually a very difficult time made everything go very smoothly. Top marks for ABC (all A+'s, no B's or C's!)Michael ScrivenerTorontoread more

Our experience with Affordable Burials and Cremations was quite complex, but I was very satisfied to have Andrew's (owner) willingness to offer support, proactive approach towards our issue, and compassionate help. Thank you for helping us during these grieving moments and not classifying us just as another client. Reaching out to us made us feel that you have the empathy to carry not just a quality service, but a successful business. Calderon family.read more

ABC was recommended to me by a friend. Andrew calmly walked me through the steps and filling out the online form was simple and straight forward, without having to print/scan. I found the whole experience helpful and there was no emotional pressure at any time for purchasing additional services/products. It's a very difficult time in my life and I appreciated compassion and guidance from Andrew and Fatima. Thank you so much!read more

12/13/2017My name is Amy and I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. My friend, Sandra passed away in Toronto, Canada and left me as the executor of her will. I was completely lost and heartbroken. I had no idea what I was doing and I did not understand anything I was supposed to do-and being in another country made this almost impossible to handle.Fatima was friendly, compassionate, kind, and professional from start to finish. She handled everything with the sensitivity and ease needed in the difficult area of death. The day I had sign off on documents, answer questions, and complete everything was very difficult and Fatima took the time to explain everything in detail. She definitely took my feelings and emotions seriously and that was very much appreciated.Fatima brought comfort and compassion during such a difficult time. I feel Fatima went above and beyond that in answering questions, filling my requests for many items, and handling everything from another country with so much kindness. I was able to contact Fatima about anything whenever I needed help or information about anything.Fatima, Your thoughtfulness and consideration are very much appreciated. I could not have gotten through this without you nor could I have coped without your help and words of wisdom. I really feel that you went above and beyond-and I will be forever grateful.XOXO,Amy Janoffread more

They handled everything from the time the hospital called them until the service at the Chapel.They guided me though some tough decisions and held my hand Fatima and Andrew were caring and compassionate their passion to help others shines though. There pricing is clearly listed and almost a third of the cost and no pressure, just really amazing service.read more
