Packaging was nice but tree skimpy and dying

Received the Blue Spruce Tree in memory of my mother. Packaging was perfect but unfortunately the tree was sparse and now the needles are falling off rapidly and appears to be dying. I followed the instructions as provided. Disappointed

Unique and Thoughtful Gift

The recipients of this gift loved it, saying it was thoughtful and was the perfect way to honor their beloved pet. Shipping was quick and the tree was delivered within the same week it was ordered. They have a spot picked out already where they are going to plant it. Adding the pet tag was the perfect touch to make it personalized.
Dear Emily-
We know that we can't have our pets for all of our lives, but we surely love them for all of their lives. They are able to show us a perfect example of unconditional love. They are usually the best companion and we speak to them as the ultimate best friend, and hey, we know they won't share our secrets.
As a pet owner myself, I consider them an extension of my family. Losing such an important part of your family is heartbreaking. I hope that they will find comfort and peace as the ponder on all the memories they shared.
We appreciate your business and am thankful for you.
Warmly,
Maleena

This is the second time I've purchased a tree and pet token from Seeds of Life and I've had excellent experiences both times! The recipients have loved the memorial gifts and the company's customer service is superior.
Dear Sarah-
Thank you for your business. We truly appreciate you.
A pet is really an addition to any family. They may have fur and four legs but as a pet owner I know they are so much more. The grief after losing a pet is very valid. It is so kind of you to recognize this and choose to spread kindness, sympathy and care to others. We are honored to be a part of your special gift.

With gratitude and a big personal "thank you" to customer service for fixing the (just noticed) typo on the gift card message as the order was in process! The family loved the blue spruce and engraved tag as a memorial to their beloved family dog....the tree is already planted!!
