The money was never an issue only Angela Johnson and Unity Funeral Home shady disrespectful illegal business practices.Founded by W. No family deserves the lack of empathy and disrespect that Angela Johnson and Unity Funeral home displayed. I wouldn't let Angela Johnson or Unity bury my worst enemy. I hope no other family ever has to go through this. I have reported Angela and Unity Funeral Home to the board of funeral directors as we've been told alot of things Angela Johnson did were illegal. There was no dignity or respect for my father or his 88 yo mother whom Angela Johnson dragged my fathers casket from.
Angela Johnson never once apologized for the fiasco. She should be communicating with the person whom she set the funeral up without permission. Angela Johnson has been calling texting and harassing me since she found out the payment was stopped. Angela Johnson took the word of this person that my aunt would cover the costs never having spoke with my aunt to verify that and knowing the reputation of that person who is known in Deland as a liar and thief and also scheduled a viewing without family permission.
My aunt covered the $3000 under duress because my grandmother had grown tired of sitting and waiting for Angela Johnson to show up from another funeral and we were waiting for over an hour because no one knew how to do a credit card charge no1 brought money to a funeralbut the payment was stopped for services not rendered. Due to the unprofessionalism of Angela Johnson and Unity funeral home and due to the ignorance of the person whom Angela set up my fathers funeral arrangements with. This is including $1600 transfer fee from the other funeral home which Angela Johnson agreed to recieve after death certificate was received to get monies out of my fathers account. She never had the family sign a contract and then held the funeral up under duress stating if all monies were not paid at that moment there would be no funeral. Angela Johnson never spoke to the family about the remaining costs that were not covered by the insurance $1400, even when the son came in to sign off on insurance policy, there was no conversation about payment or arrangements.
Angela Johnson also defamed another funeral home stating they didn't do services that were charged for I have a letter from previous funeral home stating the contrary and Angela Johnson tried to obtain the previous funeral homes contract illegally. Even after speaking with the family and being told to finalize everything with the daughter. Angela Johnson and her staff set up arrangements for my father's funeral with someone not related to him only because the person was 1 of the beneficiaries on his insurance policies. It was the most unprofessional horrific experience I've ever dealt with. Unity Funeral Home actually deserves 0 star rating.
