      *** ******* has submitted the same complaint to the *** Division of Cemeteries, which is the governing body. The ************ of Cemeteries will investigate his claims, which we believe are meritless.

      Good Morning,

      On March 30, 2020 *** ******* requested to cancel her account with ********************** per terms of the contract.  According to the contract, Pinelawn will keep up to 20% of the total purchase price of Property(s) as sales, administrative, ministerial, and processing expenses for Purchaser's failure to fulfill the agreement.  At the time of *** ******* request, the account was cancelled, and she received a refund in the amount of $1,527.  It is my understanding that *** ****** is looking for an additional refund from the 20% that was retained by Pinelawn.  I have left two voicemails for *** ****** to discuss and I am waiting for her to return my call.

      My husband and I brought plots some years back, just for the 2 of us. He passed away about a year ago, and due to financial constraints, had to have him cremated. I too will be cremated.When I called back in January or so, I was told Pinelawn reserves first right to buy back the plots, and I would be hearing from them. I never did.As such, I contacted Pinelawn again last week, only to be told that they have no idea if/when they would get around to buying the plots back from me.They offered nothing whatsoever, I want this complaint logged against them, and I want reimbursement. Heck of a way they are running a business - lying to people, and I have read the other complaints so you see there is a pattern here.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved yet, only because i do not have the check in my hands.  Yes, they have contacted me, and we are working together towards a positive outcome

      When i have the check cleared, i will indeed agree to this issue being resolved.

      thank you!
