If I could give them a 0 I would. They have had my love one for over 1 month. At first we were told 12 to 14 days. Then they said 12 to 14 business days. Yesterday made 1 month and they keep saying is someone will call you back. We just want to begin the grieving process. I will never recommend this place to anyone. Next call I will be making will be to my lawyer. This is beyond ridiculous.
