My beautiful husband was cremated on 13th May, following the short and devastating effect of cancer.
I was shocked today to receive a marketing request from the crematorium, asking me to write a review and star grade my experience with them, to enable others to make an informed choice! AIBU to say that this is completely unacceptable! I know we live in a market led world, but when a loved one dies, the disposable of the body options are somewhat limited. It isn’t Amazon! I wasn’t thinking about checking ratings, I was thinking about how to lay my husband to rest in the most respectful way possible without losing my emotional sanity.
I did send back a very curt reply, requesting that they never contact me again. Maybe I should have left a 1-star review, saying that I wished that I had never needed to use the service due to me not wanting my husband to have died.
What is happening in this crazy world! Where everyone is accused of being overly sensitive and yet this kind of practise is okay! Or am I being overly sensitive? I am obviously not in the greatest headspace atm!
