I was amazed by their ability to walk us through the cremation process in a guiding manner that would make you think they were a part of our family. Mark Press was wonderful to work with he was very accommodating to all of our questions and arrangements. Kaysie Mandel was quick and efficient in posting our obituary and slideshow on their website. I could not have been more pleased with the attention to details that they delivered. Weeks later the "Aftercare" telephone appointment with Kirstin Ferlin provided by Ballard-Durand provided important information regarding steps families need to take after the loss of a loved one. Kirstin is a well-trained Estate Specialist who can walk you through any questions you may have about what to do with your loved one's estate. This appointment usually takes around 20-60 minutes. Even if you have done estate planning (or already have a lawyer) this appointment covers all the little things that lawyers don't usually take care of. The Aftercare Service is an amazing resource that I recommend you take advantage of even if you have previously worked through this process. Thank you Ballard-Durand.

Dina is very sweet and talented with alterations, but she is not up to the management aspects of…read morethe business. She had done some excellent alterations for me about 18 months ago so I came back with a dress I had bought online that needed four things done: the collar altered into a scoop neck from a higher, folded-over collar, the length shortened, the sleeves shortened, and a tuck put in under the sleeves at the bust. I needed it for an event on 4/30 and I brought it in between five and six weeks in advance. She said it would be done on 4/4. I called after 4/4 and she said she had tried to reach me (she hadn't) to ask if I wanted a V neck or a rounded scoop neck. She does not seem to take notes on what has to be done. I reminded her that I wanted a rounded scoop neck and she said she would do it the next week. I waited over a week and called her again and she said she had not done it yet but would do it the following week and it would be ready that Thursday. The timing was getting tight and I asked her if she thought there was any chance it wouldn't be done and she said no. I went there that Thursday (less than a week before the event) and the hem was done perfectly, the scoop neck was higher than we had discussed but it was okay, she totally forgot the sleeves (which she did right away in 10 minutes), but she said she was not going to do the part under the arms because it did not work to do it. She is very elderly and I was polite but I asked why she did not tell me that on the times that we had spoken. She did not answer. I did not have time to bring it elsewhere so I could not wear it, I had to wear another dress, because it looked weird with the puffy fabric under the arms. I tried wearing it with a padded camisole and that didn't help, the extra fabric was more under the arms. I would not use her again unless there was no due date and it was just something simple like a hem.

I ordered a Premium floral arrangement and received a Standard one…read more This seems to be a common occurance when ordering flowers for gift delivery. I always ask the recipient to send me a photo. The arrangement sent, in addiiton to it be a scaled down version of what I ordered, didn't look anything like what I ordered. Instead of roses and mini-carnations, they sent a bouquet of daisys. Pictures below. I ordered by phone and made a special point that I expected the arrangement to be of Premium value and close to what I ordered. They assured me no problem. When I saw what was sent I called, asked for the owner, and asked for a partial reimbursement at the very least to the Standard pricing. After being "talked over" by the owner, he finally begrudgingly agreed. He claimed it was "fair and equal value". I can assure you it wasn't even close. Beware!
