0 stars. Taking advantage of people at their most vulnerable. You have no ethical right to re-write carefully written obituaries and create inauthentic & disrespectful fake ones, pulling & re-writing very personal info without permission. Families should not have to waste time requesting removal, you should not be mining people’s details for your own use in the first place. Absolutely disgusting company, pretending to provide a ‘service’ to the public. Re-writing the carefully written words of families without any consent is incredibly intrusive at a difficult time. The replies to the other reviews show a complete lack of self-awareness. You do not have consent to create these fake write-ups that can rank in Google even higher than what a family has written and appear real. “ The Funeral Service Association of Canada (FSAC) said it has concerns about the practice which it referred to as “obituary scraping or pirating.”“ The company names may be different, but it’s the same old game.The Bereavement Authority of Ontario (BAO) is alerting the public again about companies that are ‘pirating’ or copying obituaries to their websites…A company called Afterlife.co was doing this until 2019 when a federal court judge ordered it to pay $20 million as the result of a class action lawsuit. The company later ended its operations. In recent years, Echovita was formed by one of the directors of the Afterlife.co”
