Thank you all for helping me through this difficult time.

Sadly, within the past 3 years my family has had to lay to rest three family members at the Florida…read moreNational Cemetery. Though I have not been directly connected with any planning of the ceremonies, my family members have spoke highly of the ease the cemetery has made of the situation. They do their absolute best to make sure everything flows as seamless as possible while covering the family direct needs/wants for their beloved member being laid to rest that day. Though they have many ceremonies planned each day that are timed, it is important to know that you can speak up if some additional time is needed before the end of your time. It is simple just by a few words or taking your additional time needed by staying at the ceremony sight. They are very timely between the ceremony time and when the person or ashes are placed with there headstone for you to return to visit. Given that I have several more family members who are military members and/or spouses, we will be back in the upcoming years and I hope things remain as seamless.

Mika and Richard were incredibly helpful and I'm so happy I went with them to officiate our…read morecourthouse elopement! With only a few weeks to plan I was impressed with how accommodating and helpful they both were especially Mika! She was very patient with all my questions. The day of our ceremony we were running late and yet they both were very patient and understanding. We were traveling from Naples to the Brooksville courthouse. Once we got set up and our ceremony started, both the groom and I were very happy with our vows and ceremony. Mika let me share a playlist that she played before during and after our ceremony and to this music lover was a detail I was so happy with! On top of that the photos they took and the certificate printed for us was so sweet. We didn't just pay for an officiant but a total package that made our day that much more special. Thank you both so much!!!

Great ppl to work with and I will use them again for anything they can assist me with!! They made me completely comfortable that they know what they are doing and that is worth what they charge which is also very reasonable. FYI they prepare docs as well so before you spend a bunch of money like I did, you should check with them first!!

I am a bit of a history buff. Especially when it comes to Civil War. Those forgotten souls who are…read morelong buried. And when I see a Cemetery as old as Hills of Rest, I am going to stop. This Cemetery is located out off North Us 41, in Floral City (Sumter County) amid sturdy Florida Scrub oaks beset with strings of Spanish Moss. The setting is quite lovely for this warm December afternoon, the cycadias chirp as I wander through the graves, taking note of the long gone and the recently departed. It was established in 1884 by Mr Phiel, and still has internments today, but they seem to have tapered off somewhat. This is a true memorial garden, one where headstones rise above the earth, some tall, in granite edifice, stately in their moss dressing. Others smaller, squat in comparison, but newer in their polished faces, with their clean fonts and sedate carvings of Jesus at the mount or "gone to camp" The one thing to know for sure is that this is an active cemetery, people still come to visit their dead. There are recent offerings of poinsettia plants and Christmas wreaths, not the miasma of strewn and tossed flowers left to moulder and rot amid lost graves. I liked this place, it was perfectly serene atop a rare, rolling hill in Florida.

I went here for a job interview and did not get the job. However, based on what I saw and the nice…read morestaff that I met, I can recommend this company. I have 10+ years experience in the Funeral Industry and I was very impressed with the overall business model of Baldwin Brothers. I can assure you that their prices are much lower than their competitors, yet the location where the Visitation and/or Funeral would happen is welcoming and soothing, organized and uplifting. I feel that grieving families would get personal service here at a low cost. I also met the pre-arrangement person who helps families to set up monthly payments so that everything is taken care of when that time comes (which truly helps their relatives to suffer less). I liked the man. Whether someone has passed or you want to plan ahead, Baldwin Brothers has everything you need.

Hi... I dropped our Husqvarna riding mower at the end of Aug. It was mentioned that the problem was…read morea carburetor and I said ok put a new one. The belt was new and the blades were from '25. But it's going on a month now. Yes it was mentioned to me that the were 2 or 2 1/2 weeks out. I was being lazy to not change the carburetor myself with the one from Amazon. So if I can get a reply to see if it will be ready for me to hook up our trailer and go get it on the 21st Monday ? I'm a bit under $200.00 having our property to be cut. I'm on a ssi monthly check. I can't be paying for our property to be cut. The back yard is 1 acre and is now over 20 inches tall.

Steve, the funeral director, was extremely rude and unfriendly. My mother lost her husband of 66…read moreyears, and all he said to us was "Have a chair, we have a lot to discuss." There was no introduction, and definitely no sympathy. He actually made us feel guilty for being their customer. No one should need to deal with that at a very stressful time. The bulletin was printed with errors (wrong day of death!), and the slide show was created with duplicates. The facility is dated and nothing special. it was 6 days from the day or death to the funeral, and they got things together quickly so the funeral went off without a hitch. However, I'm sure there are better options in The Villages.

I was going through a very hard time and called a few different funeral homes. The big deciding factor for me to work with Beyer's was the staff from my 1st phone call. My 1st phone call was with RJ. He was very understanding and was so nice and helpful. I spoke with RJ a few times and yes at all hours of the night. He kept me in the loop with the process at each step of the way until my mother was in Beyer's care. Then I worked with David and Patrick. Both were super awesome, caring, and very communicative. All calls and emails were responded to in a very timely manner. I was doing all of this from Illinois and I must say I kept thinking "Beyer's has such great customer service and they really deliver southern charm" I also spoke with the office girls a few times (I don't have names) but once again was never disappointed!!! Beyer's team went above and beyond for me and I so appreciate it!!! They made the hardest time in my life easier for me to handle. They get an A+++ in my book!
