Review of Connecticut Hospice

I planned for a month a Memorial for my Grandmothe...

I planned for a month a Memorial for my Grandmother who had passed at the Branford Hospice. Relatives were coming from out of state, I had put several hours into drawing up landscaping plans for a Serenity Garden the family was going to donate for the memorial, speaking with Rev Woody in detail and sending emails back and forth, then I was told two weeks prior the CEO of Hospice Rose Mary had to approve the Serenity Garden (which was where the Memorial would take place!).
A week to the day of the Memorial I received a message from Rev Woody that they could NOT do the memorial!!! He offered a prayer service that could be done but nothing more & of course I could still make a donation!!! I went into a panic!! These people have no respect for peoples lives! They simply want the money! They left me and my visiting relatives with ONE week to make different arrangements!
Thank goodness for the kindness of Edgerton Park in New Haven that helped with last minute arrangements in their Carriage House Garden for the Memorial!
But to add insult to injury Rev Woody sent me an email 3 days after the voice mail saying he COULDN'T even do the prayer service he had offered!!
Again a higher power was looking out for us! Thanks to Minister Mansfield from the Church of Scientology in New Haven coming to our aid last minute!
Despite the SABOTAGE by Branford Hospice, my family and I had a beautiful ceremony!
Don't trust this Hospice! They only care about the money! Look, they even put in their details PAYMENT METHODS! Is this a store?! or a medical facility??
