Take down Dillon Carroll obituary.You got it all wrong. And I wrote everything I wanted in there. You left out very important people. No one asked for you to print his obituary.

A disgusting scam using deceased loved ones to make money

Have not asked our permission to list the obituaries for our family members and collecting donations for their own monetary gain. Hopefully a lawsuit comes out against this company, and they go defunct for their disgrace against those who have passed.

Thought I was at a legitimate website…

Thought I was at a legitimate website for the original obituary had to pay to light a candle but the original website you light one for free. I was scammed in a moment of sadness, just wasn’t thinking but learned a lesson also I hope the flowers make it☹️

Grotesque show of humanity

Unfortunately, one is the lowest option. They stole my brother's obituary information from a legitimate site for their own gain. In a painful time of loss and bereavement they chose to feed off other people's grief. Despicable.

Echovita Obituaries

Echovita ObituariesIt is a shame that one cannot give 0 starts for a rating because this company deserves no better. This sentiment, and my opinion of this company, mirrors the experience and the opinions of many other individuals who have been affected by the practices of Echovita as you can see by reading other reviews of the company.Essentially, they post obituaries completely unauthorized by the families of the deceased on their web site. The obituary is re-written from the official obituaries posted by the responsible funeral home, presumably to circumvent copyright infringement violations, and peppered with other family information such as identities, etc. garnered from internet sources. In our case some of this information in the obituary they posted was erroneous, and specific names were published without our permission.The position of the company, as articulated in their responses to numerous complaints online, and in their specific response to my demand that the obituary in question be removed, is that they are serving a public good by communicating information. However, their unauthorized obituaries are completely superfluous. The information is already communicated in the family-authorized original obituary posted by the funeral home and readily available to all on the internet.If the purpose of the company was to do a public good and communicate information, they should simply seek permission from the affected family in writing before posting the obituary, or even better, ask the bereaved family to review the obituary for content and accuracy before publishing it. This would not seem to be an excessive burden. They do not do this! Rather, it is my opinion, and that of many others who have shared in my family’s experience as noted in their reviews, that the purpose of Echovita’ s obituaries is to sell flowers and other memorial products. While I am a firm believer in capitalism, there have to be ethical limits and publishing unauthorized obituaries, with uncorroborated information by the family of the deceased, with the purpose of selling products, in my opinion steps over that ethical line. To reiterate, since the official obituary prepared by the family and posted by the funeral home on the internet is disseminated without limits and is available to all, and contains accurate information actually approved by the decedent's family, and the only information the family of the deceased wishes to be posted, there is absolutely no need or altruistic purpose for these Echovita obituaries. In our case, this unsolicited and unauthorized obituary has been confusing to acquaintances of our deceased family member who have contacted us. As noted in several other reviews posted on Trust Pilot, Echovita’ s business plan uses families and their friends at a most vulnerable time in their lives. I urge all who have unfortunately lost a loved one to make certain that the only obituary published is from the funeral home responsible, and the obituary that the family wants to see in print.

This company poaches information from…

This company poaches information from original obituaries and posts them on their website without permission. There is no contact with the family. They posted my brother-in-law’s “rewritten” obituary without permission shortly after the original obituary was posted by the funeral home. They aren’t providing a service. They are being unethical.

They used our family members obituary…

They used our family members obituary and allowed a bitter ex girlfriend to change the photo and add tons of old photos making it seem like they were still together. How can you allow someone to change the photo on a families loved ones obituary???

This company was horrible

This company was horrible. I ordered flowers for my aunt’s funeral from their website. The flowers never came because the floral shop couldn’t deliver to that address. The funeral was a suburban area of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. You can’t tell me that they couldn’t find one local florist in the area that could deliver an order in a timely fashion. I would never recommend Echovita.

Giving one star because there’s no…

Giving one star because there’s no option to give zero. Stole details from my uncle’s obit and posted it without approval from the family for their own financial gain…. Couldn’t imagine a lower, grosser, greedier type of human being than those who run this company

This company did not get my permission…

This company did not get my permission to write their inacurate version of my mother's obituary. It's horrible to that.
