Echovita Reviews Summary

Overall, while some customers appreciate the service, the company's practices surrounding obituaries and inconsistent product fulfillment have led to widespread dissatisfaction.

Shocking
April 6, 2024
Updated review

The arrangement was a miniature of what I ordered for $100. But worst of all….The flowers were shoved unevenly into the vase but I pulled them up and out once I saw them at the funeral home.
I've never been so upset attending a funeral. Too upset to call and complain.

Hi Becky M.,
We are happy to hear you received excellent customer service. For clarity, Echovita is an obituary website. Blooms Today is our partner who you spoke with. The local florist who delivered the incorrect order is the company who won't be used again by Blooms Today. Thank you.

Funeral Flowers

Updated review

The selection process was seamless, after that I have no idea what took place. Did the flowers arrive on time, what did they look like? I have no answer to these questions.

Poor service
April 1, 2024

I ordered online and it allowed me to place a same day order for after 2pm. It was 2 days later I was called to let me know they were never delivered because they couldn't find someone to handle it it. This is totally unacceptable to find out 2 days after I needed the flowers delivered.If I had known I could have called somewhere else.

Hi Monica H.,
For orders placed for same day delivery, our partner, Blooms Today does their best to try and find a local florist who is able to fulfill your order. When the delivery address is a cemetery, it is really difficult because if the florist is unable to contact the cemetery to find out where the flowers are supposed to go (plot location), it makes it very difficult to insure the flowers will be delivered on time for the service. They did their best to have your order fulfilled, but with only 4.5 hours between you placing your order and the start of the service, it doesn't leave much time. However, you should have been notified not long after placing your order, instead of the following day. Your order was refunded by Blooms Today, the next day.

Flowers not delivered to funeral!
April 1, 2024

I received a notice from Blooms
Just before the funeral started that they couldn't deliver the flowers for the funeral. I had to provide an alternative address for later delivery. I expressed concern. I did not receive any notice that they were delivered to the alternate address?!

Expensive for what I got
March 31, 2024

The cost of the flowers was much higher than if I had bought local. This website listed an obituary that they were not associated with. Party my fault, I should have checked more obituary sites to get the local funeral home.

Hi Mick M.,
The dimensions of each size of each flower arrangement are shown directly below the photo after you select the arrangement you'd like. If you believe the arrangement delivered was not the same size indicated on our website, please call Blooms Today directly at 1-800-522-8707. It is likely you will have to present a photo of the arrangement delivered. Also, Echovita is a free obituary and memorial page platform the informs society of who has passed away. You claimed we listed an obituary we were not associated with, however, Echovita is an obituary aggregator that further shares the basic facts of publicly available obituaries. Families also post their loved one's obituary on our website for free.
