I am writing to formally express significant disappointment regarding the transportation and…read morehandling of floral arrangements during the services for my husband's family member, which included a viewing in Palm Springs (Fitzhenry) and the subsequent transport to the cemetery. While I understand that funeral homes may not feel direct responsibility for arrangements not purchased through their services, the handling of these items significantly impacts the overall experience of the grieving family and loved ones. As an individual with six years of experience in the floral and service industry, I found the delivery process to be unacceptable. Concerns Regarding Transportation and Handling * Improper Transport: During the transportation from the church/viewing location to the cemetery, arrangements were visibly stacked on top of one another. This practice is disastrous for delicate floral structures and results in damage to costly tributes. * On-Site Damage: Upon arrival at the cemetery, one arrangement was visibly dropped by staff, resulting in immediate damage to several flowers. This occurrence was witnessed by numerous family members, causing considerable distress, especially given that the family planned to take all floral tributes home. * Destruction of a Key Arrangement: I had to intervene directly when an arrangement (specifically, the "wings") was being broken by a worker. I observed the worker ripping out flowers (gladiolus) and disposing of them carelessly into a bush adjacent to the casket. This specific arrangement was subsequently too damaged for the family to take home. * Missing Banners: I also had to personally ensure the retrieval of accompanying banners, which had been stuffed back into the damaged "wings" arrangement. I spoke with Mark and Danny at the time regarding the issue of the banners. Issues Regarding Floral Materials * Aisle Stands/Easels: It was observed that the metal aisle stands or easels, which were provided free of charge by the florists for the display of sprays and wreaths, were retained by the funeral home staff. These stands are typically provided for the family's use to display the tributes and do not belong to the funeral home. The family should have been allowed to keep or manage the return of these items. Recommended Action and Transparency Floral tributes are not inexpensive and represent profound expressions of love and respect. The lack of care shown for these items was extremely disheartening. I urge the funeral home to implement the following changes immediately: 1. Mandatory Transparency: If proper, temperature-controlled transportation and adequate spatial accommodation are not available in your vehicles for large or multiple floral arrangements, this information must be communicated to the families and loved ones prior to the service. 2. Staff Training: Implement mandatory training for all personnel involved in the handling and transport of floral tributes, emphasizing the need for respectful and careful handling of all arrangements, regardless of their origin. 3. Policy Review: Review current policies regarding the disposition of floral accessories (such as easels and banners) to ensure they are returned to the family or florist as appropriate. We are incredibly disappointed that a day intended for respectful remembrance was overshadowed by the observable mishandling of these final tributes. We look forward to your acknowledgment of these serious issues and confirmation of the corrective steps you plan to take.

From the moment they picked up my dad, they handled everything so smoothly that we never had to worry or stress -- it truly felt like royal treatment during such a heartbreaking time. What stood out the most was how family-oriented and caring they are. They never charged us extra for the little things that meant so much -- using Bluetooth for music, the TV for photos/videos, and even placing ashes into our small keepsake urns. Those details mattered deeply to our family. One of the most meaningful parts for us was being able to witness the cremation process, which gave us so much peace. We also upgraded to the wooden casket, and they allowed all of our family and friends to write personal messages on my dad's casket -- something we will cherish forever. This is truly one of the best family-owned businesses. They went above and beyond in every way, treated us with kindness and dignity, and made us feel supported every step of the way. We are beyond grateful we found them, and we will recommend them to all of our family and friends. If we ever need these services again in the future, without a doubt, we will choose them again. Thank you for honoring my dad so beautifully.
