Additionally, issues with product quality, including discrepancies between ordered and delivered items, have been reported. Overall, while some customers appreciate the service, the company's practices surrounding obituaries and inconsistent product fulfillment have led to widespread dissatisfaction.

Very quick and easy, great selection to choose from and the end result didn't disappoint.
You were unable to find a florist to deliver the flowers.
I was unaware until receiving an email after the services were over.
I picked a bouquet not based on price, but based on the way it looked. I liked the vase color in the photo and the particular flowers in it. It was terrible in person. I had a really hard time finding which one I had purchased because it looked nothing like the photo. It was actually embarrassing.
At payment not happy I could not remove the candle associated with the arrangement I selected. I immediately got an email with a credit and a proper corrective measure on the company's part. Very on top of the order. A pleasure doing business with Evhovita.
Not happy I could not remove the candle
Arrangement just as beautiful as pictured. It was delivered on time and we were very pleased with the size, appearance and price.
Thank you
The flowers were delivered the day after the funeral and left outside
Hi Deanna Y.,
I just got off the phone with our partner, Blooms Today. What happened with your order is totally unacceptable. They confirmed your order was delivered at 5:45p.m., which was almost 6 hours late. I asked Blooms Today to speak with the local florist to let them know that is unacceptable and to remove them from the program if they are incapable of fulfilling orders timely. We have processed a full refund for your order. Please allow 5-7 business days for the refund to be returned to you. Thank you.
We ordered a flower arrangement the day before a grave side service for my aunt. The flowers were not delivered for the service. I tried to call your company and was routed around to go online. I was instructed a refund would be processed. But it wasn't. Three days later a cousin said "thank you for the flowers". They weren't for the cousin. They were for the grave. I didn't even receive a confirmation that ANY flowers were delivered. Don't think I'll use your company again.
Hi Carol G.,
You stated you attempted to call our company and you were redirected to go online, however, that doesn't make any sense because Echovita does not have a phone number, unless you called our partner Blooms Today at 1-800-522-8707, which is the number on your receipt. I'm not sure how or why you were redirected to go online, unless you called outside the hours of operation because they don't redirect customers to go online. A delivery confirmation email is sent by Blooms Today, so maybe you received it in your spam. Is it possible your cousin is the child of your aunt? They could have taken the flowers from the grave site, since it was a basket of flowers, and not planters. When flowers are delivered to graves/burials, the family can take them home if they want. Thank you.
It was very easy and convenient, and my friend said the flowers were beautiful.
After placing an order I was notified that there was no shop in the area and they could not complete my order. With limited time to get something to the funeral and family it was very frustrating!
Hi Stephanie,
You placed your order 3.5 hours before the time of delivery. You placed your order at 8:23a.m. For delivery by 12:00p.m. Our partner, Blooms Today did their best to try and find a florist within the area to fulfill your order, but none were available. There is nothing we can do in that situation. Typically, your order should not have been accepted because the minimum time for orders to be delivered the same day when receiving orders in the morning before hours of operation is 2p.m. We are working with our programmers to fix this. Thank you.
A tragic death of a young family member and our flowers did not arrive. The refund could not compensate us for our shame at not providing flowers for this tragic event
Even though it was a lovely arrangement it wasn't what I ordered which was more of a plant arrangement.
They were beautiful but not what we ordered. We ordered the plant.
Very disappointed we had ordered a flower arrangement for a beloved friend for his memorial and was told that it could not be fulfilled. It was too late to send anything else. Very disappointed The fact of the matter is that when you're putting your trust and money in someone else's hands you expect better service. Whether or not we had ample time to order something else this company was supposed to service us. We are not familiar with this kind of ordering on line service. In short why offer this type of service for people if it doesn't deliver
Hi Kathleen K.,
We're sorry your order couldn't be delivered. In this case, the local florist did advise you as soon as they realized your order couldn't be fulfilled. You placed the order on May 10th for delivery on May 17th, and your order was cancelled on May 14th, so you still had time to order elsewhere. Thank you.
This was a long distance order, so I don't if the flowers were delivered or what they looked like. I also do not like "rating" services beyond "did their job" or "really screwed up". I can't tell you if the job was completed, mostly because the family is still grieving their loss.
Hi Mary B.,
Please check your spam for a delivery confirmation from Blooms Today. If you didn't receive one, please call 1-800-522-8707. Thank you.
I was very disappointed in the "Peace Lily" arrangement purchased from your company. For the money that I paid for a beautiful arrangement, for my best friend was very disappointing. I have purchased a peace lily before, and it was beautiful and large for the price that I paid for online. This was my very first-time ordering arrangements via the funeral home website, and I will never purchase again. For the money that I paid for the arrangement, it should have been better than what I received. It was the smallest one there.
Hi Beverly B.,
The size of the arrangement you selected was the smallest size of the 3 sizes offered, which is approximately 6" according to the dimensions provided on our website. If you believe the arrangement was smaller, please call Blooms Today directly at 1-800-522-8707. Thank you.
They called the day after they were supposed to deliver flowers to a funeral.
No email when the order was delivered. This made me wonder about doing business with them.
Hi Carol P.,
The delivery confirmation email is sent by Blooms Today. Please be sure to check your spam. If you didn't receive one, please call 1-800-522-8707, as stated on your order confirmation email. Thank you.
I did not receive any official confirmation from the receiving parties that they had received the flowers on the day of the funeral service.
Hi Roy D.,
Your order confirmation email was sent to you by Echovita. Your delivery confirmation email would have been sent to you from Blooms Today. Please be sure to check your spam. If you didn't receive the delivery confirmation email, please call 1-800-522-8707. Thank you.
I wanted and ordered a peace lily. After placing and paying for the order, I was informed that my selection wasn't available, so I requested a live plant arrangement that included ivy. I asked the recipient to send me a photo of what was delivered. For the price I paid, I was totally underwhelmed. I've seen similar arrangements at my local grocery store.
Answer: Candles, messages, and memories left on Echovita only appear on the obituary page you left it on Echovita. They do not simultaneously appear on the funeral home's website. No where on Echovita does it say candles, messages, or memories left on our website appear on the funeral home's website. You'd have to visit the funeral home's website yourself and leave whatever you'd like there. Thank you. In the future, you may contact us directly via our contact us section.
Answer: The eternity candle you purchased is a virtual candle that remains lit on the obituary page on our website. The family is not directly notified, but your message and candle are posted publicly on the obituary page, so anyone who visits the page will be able to see it.
