Echovita Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with notable strengths in the ease of ordering and timely delivery of floral arrangements, often praised for their quality and customer service responsiveness. However, significant concerns arise regarding unauthorized obituaries, which many customers find unethical and misleading, leading to confusion among grieving families. Additionally, issues with product quality, including discrepancies between ordered and delivered items, have been reported. Overall, while some customers appreciate the service, the company's practices surrounding obituaries and inconsistent product fulfillment have led to widespread dissatisfaction.

MY ORDER
April 12, 2024

WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT MY ORDER WAS NOT PROCESSED AND SENT TO FUNERAL. MY MONEY WAS REFUNDED. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED I WOULD HAVE ORDERED SOMEWHERE ELSE.

The flowers were ok.
April 12, 2024

Would like to have asked for some blue flowers to be added but could not see a choice. To be honest there were not very many other flowers, definitely they were not what I ordered, the arrangement I felt was mine the card must have got lost. They were coloured flowers and not very many. Again it was not the time and place e to question it. Thank you.

Not a good experience
April 11, 2024

I was notified the day after my brother's funeral that they were unable to complete my order for the day of the funeral and asked for an alternate address. It was too late for flowers. Thanks did refund my money, but I only had 1 opportunity for flowers for my brother for that day and that was taken away from me.

Bad timing
April 10, 2024

I learned about the service just 2 days before, ordered the flowers for day of service, but got confirmation on day after service, so doubt they were delivered. It was a public space, not funeral home or church, so quite sure the family and friends would not know it was delivered. I inquired online but no response, so don't think flowers were delivered on day of service,or possibly at all?

Do not bother!
April 10, 2024

Flowers were not delivered for a funeral and we were not notified until 24 hours AFTER the funeral.

Go somewhere else and save yourself humiliation.

I ordered flowers. I was given confirmation and a receipt they would be delivered. They were never delivered. I kept checking new deliveries at the funeral home, and kept asking staff to check. This has never happened to me before. I felt embarrassed and neglected.

Ordering Was Easy!
April 10, 2024

The ordering system was very efficient & easy to use, but I couldn't go to the funeral, so I didn't see the flowers personally. It seems the system could be enhanced by having the Florists send a photo to the customer so we can see them.

So disappointed flowers were not delivered for a funeral service. Good news is I could get through to someone on the phone, rare these days. The customer reps were very nice and gave me a refund right away. They said sometimes a confirmation is sent when the flowers are picked up by the florist and not when they're delivered and they will let the florist know.

Funeral flowers
April 8, 2024
Updated review

Very upset with Echovita. I placed an order 2-1/2 days in advance for flowers (and eternal candle) for a dear friend's funeral. Flowers were never delivered and did not find out until after the funeral. Too late to find another florist. I did get a full refund but will not order through Echovita in the future.

Much Better Than Expected
April 7, 2024

I saw the obituary 3 hours before the viewing and decided to try ordering from that site. The online ordering form required an additional 2 hours which was entirely reasonable. They actually got a beautiful arrangement delivered in that timeframe.
