A.F. Raymond is the country’s oldest family owned Funeral Business in South East Asia. Founded by William Arthur Francis Raymond in 1885, A.F. Raymond has been in the forefront of the business since its inception. Our lists of ‘firsts’ include the first motorized hearses in 1918, to our most recent trailblazing effort, the Remembrance Wall which was launched this year.
The Remembrance Wall is a direct result of the current times we live in. A world of a pandemic, a world of social distancing and a world where people are discouraged from crowding in enclosed areas. In this background, we understood the need of people to remember their loved ones who have passed. The Remembrance Wall was born.
The Remembrance Wall is an idea whose time has come.
We see this, our newest service offered to the entire nation, as a way of people honoring, remembering, and loving the members of the family who have gone before, in these trying times.
We have always been and always will be a multi-ethnic, multi-religious organization, reflecting the society of this beautiful country of ours.
This will never change.
This “little extra service” will be available to all Sri Lankan’s locally and globally, with access to the World Wide Web, with the complements of The Raymond Family.
