No way to share
December 10, 2023

I certainly appreciate this being a free service that is offered but it is supposed to show on Facebook and it DOES NOT and where is absolutely no way to share it from your site, so it's worthless. Very sad!

Hi Jeannie T.,
All obituaries are not posted to Facebook because Facebook limits the amount of posts we can make per day and there are more obituaries posted each day than the limit allowed by Facebook. However, you, yourself can share the link on your own Facebook page. Furthermore, obituaries posted on our website are found via a simple Google search. Thank you.

I ordered flowers to be delivered for a visitation and memorial service. I could not attend the visitation and memorial because I live a long distance away. A family member was kind enough to let me know at the start of the visitation that my flower order and sentiments had not been delivered. When I called to follow up on my order, the customer service person from this company agreed to investigate and get back to me. She called back to tell me that the florist said they couldn't fulfill the order and she was sorry. The order had been placed several days in advance of the scheduled visitation and service. Yet no one let me know my order could not be fulfilled until I called.

The customer service rep refunded my money and agreed to send the flowers to the home of the family of the dearly departed. It took the full weekend and two business days for the flowers to arrive. When they did arrive some of the flowers in the arrangement were well past their prime and looked marginal at best.

I can't imagine anything much worse than failing to delivery flowers to a grieving family on time for the planned service. I was embarrassed to say the least and hurt that my expression of sympathy wasn't received as intended.

The point of sending flowers is to have them come when those bereaved can enjoy them. Thus, when they were delivered 24 hours late, just minutes before the Memorial service, well, that is a great shame.

Extremely Bad Choice Decision
December 6, 2023

They did not deliver the flowers to funeral home or contacted me until DAYS after the funeral was over. Received EMAIL. Awful...I was extremely upset along with my entire family! Funeral was out of state... we could not attend so expected for family to atleast see our respect with flowers for loss of our loved one! They should have contacted me ASAP if they could not handle the job!

Hi Katherine, we are sorry to hear about the experience you had. You are absolutely right. The local florist is supposed to notify our partner Blooms Today ahead of time if they are unable to fulfill the order and deliver it on time, so that Blooms Today can contact you. In this case, the florist didn't do as they are supposed to, so when Blooms Today was going through the orders to confirm deliveries, they realized that the local florist didn't confirm delivery, they refunded the order.

The flowers you delivered were lovely and the family appreciated them. In fact, they turned out to be the deceased's favorite colors! However, they looked nothing like what I ordered.

I ordered a heart wreath and got a wall spray. You ruined my last gesture of love for my cousin. The 50% refund did not make up for my sadness.

Improper substitution

We ordered Blue Bounty that showed a deep blue vase. At the funeral the vase was a clear glass. Howver, you did issue a partial refund which I appreciated.
