Echovita Reviews Summary

Flowers
June 19, 2023

Sorry to say but flowers were very disappointing. They looked almost dead when I saw them in the funeral home. They clearly were older flowers and not fresh.

Disappointed
May 19, 2023

I was disappointed that the flowers I took time to pick out to my liking was substitued the day before delivery without so much as shwing me what the substitute arranged looked like.

Funeral Flowers
May 18, 2023

Received them in a timely manner. These were for a coworker mother in-law. However, I didn't go. So I don't know how they looked. I am going to assume they looked great.

I wish I could give them 0 stars. This company is absolutely cruel and awful. They skimmed the obituary for my brother that we so lovingly and carefully wrote, and re-worded it to make blatantly false claims about him. It caused a lot of panic throughout the whole family, and re-traumatized us during an already horrific time in our lives. We still don't know how long the lies were online, and how many people saw them.Their response was basically "oops, we are human too!" when I told them how much their actions hurt us.

EDIT: Echovita stated that my brother was "survived by his daughters." He has no children, has never had any children, and the obituary we originally wrote never alluded to him having children or daughters. This information is BLATANTLY FALSE and caused a lot of trauma to our family.

Hi Elizabeth,
After checking our emails, I can confirm hat we have not received any recent emails from an "Elizabeth C.", however, we have never made any false claims about anyone. To say we blatantly made false claims insinuates that we intentionally posted false information, which has never been the case. Mistakes can happen, as yes, we are human, and we apologize if a mistake was made. We are not cruel, but you are entitled to your opinion. We further share the basic facts of publicly available obituaries, as part of our free service, as any factual information published on the internet, is then public information. We do not post complete original obituaries unless we are given direct permission from the family or funeral home, or if the obituary was directly created on our website by the family or funeral home.

Funeral flowers
June 15, 2023

For the flowers delivered I could have picked wild flowers that looked better. They were all wilted with hardly any water in them. Sparse bouquet. 3 names were not even put on sympathy card. The site never directed you to the candle which was paid for on order

DO NOT EVER ORDER from echovita!
June 14, 2023

NOTIFIED ME DAYS AFTER SERIVES to let me know that ORDER WAS NEVER DELIVERED! Ordered flowers for a dear friend's mother's funeral that was in another state from me. Got an email saying a comparable item would be delivered. Then THREE DAYS AFTER the services, got an email saying the order was canceled due to the fact they couldn't find way to fulfill the order. Had I known in time I could have made other arrangements to show my care and support. People order and have flowers delivered all the time all over the place...I didn't think I needed to follow up after I was told a comparable item would be sent. I felt horrible. I'll NEVER ORDER from them again!
