The BEST! My mother and I had a very positive experience with the Baldwin Brothers cremation…read moreservices for my late father. A little background: I live in NY and my parents lived in FL. No will and no plans were made other than their desire to be cremated and have their ashes scattered in the ocean. I could never get my parents to plan or discuss any further than that. I get the dreaded late night call from the hospice nurse telling me that my dad has passed (two days before starting my road trip to Fort Myers)... so change of plans, now I'm on the next flight out to Fort Myers. Meltdowns galore...only child so no one to really call and share this responsibility with. Tearful meltdowns on line at TSA checkpoint. Tearful meltdown at the gate... you get the picture. In between meltdowns I googled funeral homes and cremation services local to the Ft. Myers area. I found three places... one super cheap no frills direct cremation service, one really expensive one with extras that were not justified and the last place was Baldwin Brothers which was perfect! I called their phone service around 3am and received a call back from the on-call funeral director and he answered all of my questions and concerns. I already knew their fees since I had done my due diligence online and was relieved to hear that everything checked out and there were no hidden costs. Straightforward and clear answers to my questions. No double talk. No cheesy salesmanship. The service we selected was the "Private Family Goodbye with Simple Cremation". It was lovely and dignified. My father was a simple man and he would have been happy with our choice for him. Our Funeral Director was Ira Blasberg (he gave me permission to use his name). He was amazing and took care of us from the initial start until the end when he returned my fathers ashes to us. He was excellent at his profession. Ira took his time explaining all of the details of the service that we chose and reminded us that we could bring a special outfit for my father to wear. He respected our decision and never once tried to upsell us on anything... in fact, he went above and beyond by surprising us with Military Funeral Honors for my father who was a Korea War Veteran (US Army). Ira called me the day before our private family viewing to confirm that it was ok to do so. I'm a veteran myself so this extra touch meant even more to me. I got to give my father his Final Salute while Taps played in the background (veteran daughter to veteran father)... yes, I am absolutely in tears as I write this. My father just passed away less than a month ago on Thanksgiving Day 2019. The cremation took place a few days later...we chose to not be present for that. After such, we received my fathers ashes the following day and to my surprise again, Ira didn't just hand us the ashes...no sir. He brought us into a nice and quiet room that was simply decorated and read a beautiful poem to us after which he handed me and my mother my fathers ashes with compassion and respect. I can't say enough good things about the Baldwin Brothers care and service. I can only express my feelings on behalf of my own personal experience with them and I highly recommend them. They gave us a very dignified service for our loved one. This is an honest review and I have NOT been compensated in any way, shape or form for this review. Thank you Baldwin Brothers.

The first company we called was very quick to provide a price but no additional details. They were busy and stated they'd call us back. We called Cremation Choices next and spoke to Jim. Jim was very thorough and took the time to educate us since all of it was new to us. Once we had all of the information, we thought we had time to hear back from the first company so we'd have at least two comparisons. Unfortunately, we lost our loved one later the same evening. We called Cremation Choices and told them we were going with them and had lost our beloved. They were very empathic and assured us they'd take care of everything. Over the next several days, we worked with Michelle at Cremation Choices. She was equally pleasant. All in all during what was a very emotional time for our family, I'm glad the first company did not have time for us and Cremation Choices did and for that, were eternally grateful.

STAY AWAY - This place has gone down the drain!…read more Do yourself a favor and do NOT bring your loved ones here. My aunt is buried at Osceola Memory Gardens and the way they treat people now is a joke. My dad went to the St. Cloud office for help finding her plot and nobody there even spoke Spanish to help him. Then, I went to the cemetery myself and found out my aunt's vase and flowers were STOLEN. Nobody called us, nobody cared. I waited over 30 minutes to see a manager while employees just walked past me like I was invisible. When a manager finally came out, he was so condescending. He assumed I didn't speak English and started talking to me in really bad, broken Spanish--it felt like he was mocking me. Even the groundskeepers told me that the new management is terrible and the property is falling apart. We paid a ton of money for "perpetual care," but that's a lie because they don't care at all. I'm telling my whole church and everyone I work with to stay away from this place. They take your money and then treat you like garbage.
