I am rejecting this response because:Royal palm South was paid in full for my father's headstone 19 September 2023.
I was told by Royal Palm employee *********************** be would be 4 months.
They have lied continually and not produce my headstone,
Last month I request the police to help get **** and Von at the Royal Palm South to give me refund or headstone , They refused to refund my payment.
At one point Von told me 15 May 2024 that the headstone was on a truck from **** and it would be here in 14 days.
I still do not have a refund or my headstone !
They are aware that we had to cancel family gathering due to their lack of empathy and care in producing the headstone.
No one should have to go through this , Especially in this type of business dealing with love ones lost of life,
Sincerely,

Good Morning,
While the marker was purchased on April 5th, 2023, there was a revision submitted in May of 2023 to have the border of the marker changed. By the time that Royal Palm Cemetery South received the corrected proof and had the signed copy sent to the manufacturer for production, it was May 30th, 2023. Any extensions in the standard length of production for all bronze markers have been due to supply issues and broken equipment issues with the manufacturer, which have since been resolved. The marker has been in production and is currently slated to be shipped to Royal Palm Cemetery South by the end of October to early November 2023.

I am rejecting this response because:
The design was never changed by us, the cemetery created the wrong design. Once we received the proof it wasnt what was paid for. We received the proof on 5/19/23, and rejected it the same day, and from my understanding it wasnt resubmitted until 5/30/23. Nevertheless, it is October 25th, and nothing is produced and no movement was made until we complained.Sincerely,

Good Morning,
The marker has been completed. Royal Palm Cemetery received a notification, from the bronze manufacturer, that the marker has been shipped on 10/31/2023. The shipping process usually takes about a week to a week and a half for the marker to be delivered to the location.
