These folks are not overly concerned with details. We made the arrangements for my Mother's internment in the facility's trailer. The carpet was badly in need of vacuuming and the room in general had a disheveled appearance. To me this indicates no interest in presenting a good first impression. While making the arrangements it was revealed that my Father had been buried in the wrong space 18 years earlier. As a result the grave marker was out of line in order to have his name above his space. My Mother was then to be interred next to him on the other side meaning the names on the marker are backwards. At the time I went along with this but in retrospect wish that I had insisted on a new marker at their expense. At no time was any sort of apology offered for their mistake. This also necessitated moving the marker over so it is at least in front of both of their resting places. As of today, 3 weeks after the internment, it has not been moved so obviously it's not a priority for them.
At least they put 2018 under her name on the marker (which I could have done with a screwdriver). My family and I will be spending our eternities elsewhere.
