Echovita Reviews 

I have used them twice and am very happy with the quality and the beauty of the arrangement - the heart shaped with white flowers smaller standing one. i will continue to use Echovita when the need arises. The flowers were delivered timely and they got my whole very lengthy message on the card. Easy to use and great experience.

Paco is at it again!
After getting sued for his website "Afterlife" Pascal "Paco" Leclerc has replaced it with the new and improved ""Echovita" where they copy information from legitimate obituaries, throw it through what I can only imagine is the b*stard child of a blender and chatGPT, and spit out garbage to entice grieving people to buy flowers, light a candle etc. Learning from his previous lawsuit* and the complete lack of legislation surrounding abhorrent sites like these, no photos are posted. Because he's nice like that (no really it's because he needs permission for that) But they'll use you for site traffic and hope you click on the ads and maybe even "send flowers" and who is kidding who. Is anyone checking up to see if they actually get delivered? No. The rest of us have class. Take notes Paco. (They use Blooms Today for flower orders. Look up their rating and reviews and draw your own conclusions.)
Oh no! Flagged for defamation! Everything in this review is also public information, so go on. The Bereavement Authority of Ontario warns the public about this** It's cute how you instantly defend your vile practices. You are making money off the deaths of people whose loved ones did not choose you. Legal or not, it's disgusting, and no matter how much you defend it, you know it's true. And you still do it. Your morals have receeded further than your hairline. I have proven my allegations with credible sources. My review is true and well informed. Compare it to the "favorable reviews" that seem to pop up quite quickly after a negative review has been posted. Interesting.
* Trustpilot does not allow links, please Google "Afterlife obituary piracy" where you will find news articles from Global news and the Globe and Mail reporting on the $20 million lawsuit which names Paco Leclerc
** The Bereavement Authority of Ontario has a notice on their website specifically naming Echovita and describing their practices

Fast delivery & the flowers offered are beautiful! The ease of use is wonderful!

Beautiful arrangement and user friendly website

No option for zero stars?
My family is being victimized with an edited version of the original obituary. They re-wrote the obituary which is full of grammatical errors and incorrect information. I sincerely hope our friends and family don't purchase anything linked from this unethical site!! I've requested for the obituary to be taken down and I hope they comply.

What Joy H said. This website takes obituaries and republishes them using different wording then asks people for flowers. Do not trust this website. May karma absolutely come for you echovita. This is low.

I was worried after reading some of these reviews, but our plant arrived on time. It was also absolutely beautiful, healthy, and much larger than I expected. The family was very happy with it.

The flowers were delivered to Birmingham to my home address not the Funeral home 2-1/2hrs away 704 Perryman Road which was clicked on the website??? Maybe a quick call would have cleared up any confusion?
For $175+... Also the wire stand that holds the flowers - appeared to be reused a number of times. It was bent and not painted and scratched up.

Loved the cat room, my cat was much calmer than normal

The plant ordered (peace Lily) was never delivered

Apparently the flowers were never delivered.

Beautiful arrangement and delivered on time.

Horrible. The day before the funeral, I was told my order could not be filled and offered no other alternative. Our family did not have flowers or a message to our aunt and cousins. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.

It was convenient but failed. I selected the option to send flowers while reading my cousin's obituary since it already had the info. Once I selected the item to send it said it had participating florest in the area. After I placed the order, my credit card company notified me of an international transaction which I wasn't aware of before placing the order. A few hours later I received an email that they we not able to complete the transaction and gave me the option to get a refund which only took a few days to post back to my account. Fortunately, I was able to search online for a florist there in time for the funeral and got a nicer plant set for less money.

Easy to use website. Great variety. Easy to checkout.

The arrangement arrived as scheduled and was well done. I received a notification when it was delivered. The service was great.

This company needs to be taken down. They made up their own obituary, completely inaccurately, which listed my child, as the child of our beloved, passed away friend. In so doing, this could have hurt the feelings of her true family. Scum like this, does not belong on the internet. The ACTUAL funeral home will remedy this for her family. But this is disgusting, hurtful, and pointless. As it truly helps no one. When someone you love passes away, the last thing you need, after the family has to pay for an obituary, is to see some hack of a company make up their own obituary using AI, and misinformation, to list family genealogies and relatives incorrectly. This website either needs to directly source and repost original content, or disband entirely. Nothing in the middle. Absolutely terrible.
