Iam a former employer of 3years+ of Hauck enterprise’s they are subcontracted out by SCI/Dignity to do the burials and so called maintenance. Worked at riverside memorial in Tequesta FL .Iam a 30 year resident of this community and believe the stories you are hearing about the abuse of this company to the families and its employees are 100% true .SCI/DM has pretty much bought up every cemetery/funeral home and crematorium in palm beach county. The cemetery in question once Owned by another long time resident Roy Rood witch he became owner in 1947 and sold to SCI/DM in 1997.THe cemetery is a true veterans’ cemetery with a long time history going back to the civil war.Roy Rood kept this cemetery beautiful and well kept and sold the spaces at a fair price to the familiesIts in this community.BUT since SCI/DM has been running things the cemetery is know a disgrace due to the lack of perpetual maintenance and the prices have sky rocked!! As maintenance workers only two of us for 15 Acers? we were only the grave digger’s and maker installers. Everything else was subcontracted out .We were totally ill equipped to do anything else. The trees have not been professionally trimmed for years there’s is bad iron stain on all the flat and upright markers because the well they drilled is no good and they wont go on a reclaimed water system? The grass if your lucky get fertilized once a year as apposed to 3 to 4 times as it should be. The roads have tripping hazards every were from the large oak trees the road itself has not been black toped for proudly 20 years now. The three main mausoleum’s the roof on two of them is way past time to be replaced all three have serious and dangerous structural issues witch was verified by a lic contracting engineer in early 2014 ! Never addressed further ???!A bad accident waiting to happen!! Most of all the cremation benches are all stained very badly with iron from the irrigation many beyond the point were you have to bring in a professional to restore the original finish? The place is a real mess! Its pretty clear that that SCI/DM is not living up to there responsibility of perpetual maintenance for the cemetery but at the same time have increased the prices of markers monuments and burials? Were is all that $$$$$ going??Many but not all of the sales people witch there job title is( counselors ) are bad people most of the good sales people see the dishonesty to the families and move on to another job but on the other hand there are the ones that live to get the deal done at any cost. The sales mangers are real scum bags!! I have seen some really bad shit go down at riverside memorial were families were totally taken advantage of!!There has been some really bad management at this location for some time now and still is ??As I stated early iam a long time resident of this area and SCI/DM has a very bad reputation in this area. The sad part is the of property that was bought many years ago the families are forced to deal with these ass holes. Just another example of how corporate America takes a very privet and personalized service and turns it into a greedy money pit. Save you $ and self respect and try to find a family owned funeral home.SCI/DM are very BAD people…….
