People of Treasure Beach and whoever visits this website beware of the FUNERAL HOMES, they try their very best to rip us off.
I just came back from Jamaica after burying my relative, preperations were made before i went but nothing was paid in advance. When my relatives that live in Jamaica went to view the caskets and decided on a particular one, they were quoted a price. When i went i was quoted another price almost double for the same casket, obviously because i look like i don't live in Jamaica so in their opinion i have money.
I think we should all fight to have the the prices written on the caskets and not for them to give us the prices off their heads when we go to find a suitable casket for our love ones.
I HOPE THEY TOO WILL READ THIS NOTE,THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

Thank you for the warning. I would hope this is not true of all funeral homes, however, it is a good thing to be aware of.

I will say as a foreigner living in Jamaica, it is often times I am given a different price. But for the folks giving me that different price I know what they are doing, call them out on it, and never give them my business again. So they are, for sure, the ones who loose out. They try for a quick gain and end up loosing long term business.

Some people in JA think that if you live in Foreign that you have lots of money. Think again. We work very hard and there is no money tree. So please dont try to rip us off.

Yes It is TRUE a lot of individuals who are living in Jamaica have this dull mentality that once you are aboard you are destine to have all this money. For a start let's compare the housing situation in Jamaica to most foreign lands, a lot of Jamaicans don’t have the stress of paying rent as they are living at home with their parents having three meals a day and all their toiletries being taken care of. On the other hand if they need necessary stuff like a lime and so they can just go in the back yard to pick it in foreign lands it is not like that if you don’t have the money to buy you simply do with out. Some people work dust and dark long hours just to pay their bills and past another day without being picked out on the street , and if this do happen there is no one next door to take them in. I could carry on and on because there is so much that we so called Foreigns, Jamaican faced in both worlds that it is too much for tongue explained. It is not a bed of roses that we are enjoying being away from the place we called home it just that we have to try and fight a good battle in the land of opportunity that is all it is not that we are bearing money !!!!.
