I'm shocked!
Today I buried my father. Thankfully I was surrounded by my grieving family, and a overly aggressive supervisor and two grave digging employees.
As customers we did our part we called them months ahead of time to schedule. We paid up front and we arrived on time.
After I barely had time to get over my car the manager made it extremely clear that today was kinda a busy day for them. First of all that's a big red flag right there. My dad died and I'm burying him and you're telling me about your bad day. Apparently they had one other scheduled funeral that was to take place later that day. Sounds like a problem for the funeral home. I did not pay thousands to hear about this guy's day I'm trying to plan a funeral leave me alone. I scheduled this appointment months ahead of time if there was an issue on their part they have my number they could have reached out to us asked for a reschedule or simply communicate the problem. Instead the best idea they could come up with was to wait until the day of my father's funeral to demand us to hurry. Sounds like Forest lawn memorial Park needs new management.
During the actual funeral family and friends surrounding each other trying to share stories in between all the crying.
Unfortunately the supervisor felt it to be appropriate to stand about 10-15 ft away from us. The three of them just staring directly at us the whole time. As if we inconvenienced them. It was extremely uncomfortable and made it really hard to focus on the funeral.
All I can say is sorry Dad I tried my best to make this day special.
Forest Lawn Memorial Park management
made us feel like they had more important funerals to get too.
