I would have given no stars at all but that was not an option. My mother ordered a beautiful floral arrangement from her local florist, who had to use a florist in Cumberland to make the arrangement and deliver- which is the common in the floral business.
My brother passed and our mother wanted to send a beautiful and cheerful arrangement- something a little different than the usual funeral arrangements.
So she placed the order early Incase of issues with not having the flowers she wanted they could change it- she made sure everyone had her phone number.
She ordered an arrangement that she fell in love with at her florist which was to have big red gladiolus, foliage, ivy, purple statice mini red carnations, white lilies.. sounds beautiful right.
Imagine our surprise when we saw the flowers that my mom had sent, it was embarrassing
What she got was a clear vase, with a handful of gladiolus that were not even open- can’t tell you what color because they were closed so tight- and that was it.
No Greenery, ivy, no mini carnations, no lilies, no babies breath, nothing extra a hand for a very closed gladiolus and nothing to make the colors pop if they were open.
As our mother was grieving the loss of her son, no one should ever have to bury their children, but then to see the arrangement of expensive flowers that she sent for his funeral, to look like a small child went through your family garden and picked flowers and shove them in a vase with a huge slap in my mothers face.
We have spoken with my mothers local Florist where they weren’t ordered from, and let them know how dissatisfied we were with the company that they trusted to deliver the perfect flower arrangement to my brothers wake, The florist was mortified as this is the florist that we used for everything all of our weddings and a funeral that we’ve had out of town baptismal‘s first communion‘s any holiday we have use this florist to get our flowers we have never had a problem with our local florist, until they used this Cumberland florist and trusted them with the funeral flowers for my brother.
The flowers look so awful that my mother went to the funeral director and stated those flowers are the ones that I bought and had shipped here they are absolutely disgusting please remove them from around his casket.
