It's sad to say as my mother was brought to this funeral home, her final wishes was not honored. I understand that Helena, thought she was honoring the wishes of my mother saying that she was going to have a meeting with the entire family, which she failed to do so by not including me in the decisions for my mother. I told her the funeral colors are pink, white and gold, and she said the casket flowers would be just that and it wasn't. Which is a lie to me.
It is such a GREAT disappointment when having conversations with her saying that she honoring the wishes of the family and asking me questions about certain things, for a week, and still choose to do something completely different from a aunt who have already burried her mother and a younger sister who doesn't have any money. She is not event the oldest sibling. This was our opportunity to bury our mother and honor her wishes in the best way we can and I feel like I was robbed of trying to do so.
I understand that she may be a busy woman, but the importance of putting a service together is to have that conversation with all parties of the family involved to come to a final decision. The result of that, my name is incorrect in the Obituary, my mother did not have a husband and a husband is listed. The hair my mother was styled in was dry and flaky, the press on nails were done but her hands still was ashy. She was supposed to be in a white dress, but she was in a COPPER/GOLD dress...ugh...And a few other things.This Obituary is the last piece of paper that friends and family have to remember my mothers life and the information is incorrect. I'll be forever scared by the horrors of how things was handled with our mom. I pray that this can be a lesson for her with future families to do better! read more
