Reviews for Asian Funeral Directors
Rated 4.24 / 5 based on 37 reviews.
Rated 1/5
I was absolutely astonished by the lack of empathy. There was very little organisation, up until a point where I was chasing them for information and pretty much doing their job! When you’re grieving someone, you need someone reliable, responsive and compassionate - this is not the company. The evening before my dad’s funeral, the lady rang and demanded money otherwise they wouldn’t release his body. We had no problems paying, we had already paid half, they did not make clear when they needed the next payment. They also added on extra charges after the funeral which weren’t clear to us, anything to make more money from vulnerable people. During the actual funeral, there was no support given, just transportation of our dad, absolutely nothing else, again I was doing their job. To top it off, they put my dad’s flower outside our neighbours house instead of ours and then when asked to move them, they placed them next to a bin, disgusting behaviour. Please don’t put your loved ones in the hands of such awful people. Spend an extra 5 mins and find someone else.
