Jeff was calm, kind, attentive, communicative, and made our lives so much easier at such a tragic and stressful time. We can't thank them all enough for giving us a peaceful experience.

What an amazing service during such a difficult time! When I lost my father, I knew I would have to…read moredeal with his funeral service, but I didn't know what to expect or where to start. Luckily I came across Kay at Sound Choice and she couldn't have provided a better service. She handled everything for us, all at a very fair price. I honestly didn't have to really do anything besides sit down and talk with her; otherwise she took care of everything. I had my dad cremated, and we had a service for him to celebrate his life. The service area is modern, clean and very pretty compared to some of the other places that we went to (they were dark and smelled). She also ordered a locket for me, which have my dad's cremated remains and finger print on it, so that I can take my dad everywhere with me. I give my highest recommendation for Kay and Sound Choice!

Why wouldn't a funeral director know the rules of operation for the National Cemetery for veterans? Especially when All Veterans is the name of the business! I was told that the cemetery would call to set up the burial so that the family could be there when our loved one was laid to rest. Instead I received in the mail a packet with the section and grave number where he was already buried. It was devastating for the entire family. We all felt that we didn't have the closure we needed. When I think of him buried with none of his family there just breaks my heart.

I normally do not leave negative reviews, but after giving management over a month to respond to my…read moreconcerns, I feel this experience needs to be documented. My concerns are specifically related to Funeral Director/Location Manager Kay Waites. Amanda and Debbie, however, were both wonderful to work with. During my mother's arrangements in early February, there were repeated documentation errors throughout the process. My address and my mother's address were entered incorrectly multiple times and even combined together in some documents (for example, my street number with her street name and vice versa). My grandmother's name was also used in place of my mother's name on multiple occasions. The document links had to be resent approximately nine times over several days because I repeatedly had to point out errors that still had not been fully corrected throughout the documents. In some cases, one section would be fixed while the same incorrect information remained elsewhere in the same paperwork. When I arrived to pick up my mother's ashes, the signage still displayed my grandmother's first name. I also picked up the death certificates at that time, only to later realize the address was still incorrect and required a state amendment and additional waiting period to correct. Due to the volume of errors, I became concerned enough during the process that I directly asked for confirmation that my mother's remains were being handled correctly. During the process, Kay told me she was "juggling 20 families at once" and agreed when I expressed concern that this seemed like too much for one person to properly manage. On April 6, I contacted Area Manager Duane to formally document these concerns. Although he initially acknowledged my email and stated he would investigate, I never received any follow-up despite multiple follow-ups and more than a month of additional time. I have retained emails, text messages, photographs, and documentation supporting the concerns outlined above and am happy to provide them if necessary. Because I never received any follow-up from management despite multiple attempts to address these concerns, I was ultimately left without any reassurance that these issues were taken seriously or addressed internally, and I felt the need to warn others about my experience. I have since heard from multiple reliable sources that similar issues had occurred previously, which makes this experience even more concerning. This was already one of the hardest periods of my life, and having to repeatedly correct legal documents and identity information during my mother's arrangements added an unnecessary layer of stress that no family should have to experience again.

My sisters and I ordered an urn for our mother, who passed on December 16th, 2013. It took us a…read morevery long time to decide what to do with her cremains; for the longest time she remained in a cardboard box in my sister's guestroom closet but that was obviously not a long-term solution for the old gal. We found a pretty urn, the likes of which we think she would have been happy with, at theurnco.com, which apparently is also the same as the Bogati Urn Company, for they both share the same street address in Sarasota. This urn is listed "Elegant Turquoise Enamel and Nickel Cremation Urn" for $159. It arrived quickly and, upon initial inspection, looks nice enough. However, not long after arrival, before the transfer of our mother's ashes, the top of the lid came loose and fell off. Now obviously for $160, we are not getting a piece of museum-quality art, but the turquoise portion of the lid, (they are calling the the turquoise portion "enamel") which seems like it should have been somehow fused onto the rest of the lid, just slipped off. Like it was an old bandaid or a stamp which had come unglued. What I am trying to get at is that it was very flimsy, as if it were just a sticker. Not a great exterior for our mother's eternal resting place. OK, whatever, these things happen, and like I said, it's not like we paid top dollar for this thing. My sister called the company to find out what sort of adhesive she should use to fix it in order to avoid further damaging it. She also mentioned that she didn't quite think it was in the warranty or return period, but want to check on that as well. She was on hold and was transferred and after explaining the situation, the individual seemed to immediately go on the defensive and assure her that it was not at all within the return period but afterwards grudgingly offered that my sister could perhaps use superglue. Listen, urnco.com / Bogati Urn Company. You are in the business of dealing with the bereaved. With grieving people. Humans who are dealing with heartache and loss and who are trying to navigate some very difficult emotional waters while they are purchasing one of your products. A MODICUM OF SENSITIVITY would be appreciated when you deal with your customers. I am not even insisting on sympathy, but some frigging sensitivity would be an excellent place to start. When a grieving customer calls you with a concern, I would not think the sensitive approach is to snottily inform them that they are not within the return period. What is wrong with you? You say that you are sorry that they are experiencing a problem and what can do to fix it? You say - if you are allowed to do this within the confines of your role - that you are sorry for their loss. I repeat - not only are you in a position to provide customer service, you are providing these services to people who ARE IN MOURNING. My brother in law will be calling back to escalate the situation and speak with a manager, so perhaps this review is hasty on my part and I am willing to change my write up to reflect what occurs, either positive or negative. But this initial interaction with urnco.com/Bogati Urn Company has left me very unenthused and reluctant to recommend them to anyone or do any further business with them myself.

It was incredibly beautiful and gave my veteran father the honor, dignity and respect he deserved going from his home to the hurst. We opted for cremation so that we could have his funeral in Ohio. Ross at the funeral home was open, honest and had great communication with us.
