To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the caravan and patrol services subcontracted by Caballero Rivero Funeral Home during the burial of our son, José Armando Candelario, scheduled for 10 a.m. yesterday. Before I delve into the specifics, I want to clarify that Director Violeta, along with Elky, Esther, and Luis from your funeral home staff, did their utmost to make this painful process as least traumatic as possible for our family. They were beyond professional from the initial planning stages through to the final farewell for our son.
However, despite their commendable efforts, the conduct of the subcontracted caravan and patrol services has left us devastated and emotionally drained, exacerbating the pain and sorrow already plaguing our family. We paid a premium price to give our son the best possible send-off, only to find ourselves dealing with an entirely different and unprofessional level of service on the morning of the burial.
Our service package included a family limousine, three patrol officers, and a 24-car caravan. In reality, only 18 cars were patrolled, leaving our grieving family stranded and disoriented. My spouse and I, distraught as we were, had to proceed to the cemetery alone, only to find a relative arrested and handcuffed on a distant road, far from the cemetery.
The situation worsened when the patrol officers, whom we had contracted for our protection and guidance, abandoned their responsibilities. They left the procession to forcibly remove and handcuff my nephew's terminally ill uncle, who was already grappling with the monumental loss of our son, while he was accompanied by his children and spouse. This not only delayed the burial but added another layer of emotional torment to our family, who were already dealing with an irreplaceable loss.
I demand immediate corrective action for this heart-wrenching experience. At the very least, we expect a public apology and compensation for this egregious act of injustice. Failure to meet these requirements will force me to escalate this matter through legal channels and public forums. It deeply saddens me that this has occurred, compounding the pain I felt yesterday with today's ridiculous service ordeal that we should never have been a part of.
I look forward to your prompt response to resolve this matter to our satisfaction. The stress and anguish imposed on us by your subcontracted services are entirely unacceptable, overshadowing even the excellent service provided by Director Violeta, Elky, and their staff. Enclosed, you will find a video that documents what your patrol team chose to spend their time doing, clearly deviating from what we had paid for.
Sincerely,
Yanelkys Angulo
