We arrived at the ramp about 10 minutes before departure time. There's plenty of paid parking at the marina. We were a party of 4 adults + a 10-yr old and fit in the boat. The 2 older seating on a seat at the front, the 2 younger adults + the 10 yr old on a big bean bag. The process is very quick: about 25 min to get to the regulatory 3 nautical miles off shore, we spent about 10 minutes saying our last words, dispersed the ashes and the trip back was about 25 min. So it was just over 1 hr. On the way back the sun was starting to come down and we saw a group of dolphins near the marina. The captain nicely went a bit back and stopped so we could see them play on the water. The captain and his mate were helpful with everything. I would recommend their services.

Instead, it turned into a high-pressure sales pitch using fear-based tactics, with residents' meals delayed until after a long presentation.

I felt the approach was inappropriate for a vulnerable senior population, where transparency and respect should come first.

May 25, 2018 I would like to take this time to thank many…read morepeople for their professional support during this harsh time for me and my family. My story starts when I first contacted Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home - Ormond Beach on April 26, 2018. Lisa Kay Cook- Ormond Beach location, was the first associate that I spoke with regarding the funeral arrangements for my dad. What I loved about Lisa was that she was generously compensate regarding my concern. Lisa even offered to meet me after hours to have my initial meeting with the organization. In addition, she worked all weekend on my contract and made sure to stay in contact with me regarding the process. Lisa you were great, and I truly appreciate your personal and professional support. In my opinion, Lisa truly established a personal one on one relationship with me and this would be the same experience that I would have with each member associated with my arrangements. The next associate that I would encounter would be Christina Stanley- Funeral Director, Ormond Beach location. Christina was great in keeping me informed regarding how the process would go for my family. In addition, she provided me with brochures and pamphlets that allowed me to focus on the tasks that would be ahead of me. Christina was also instrumental in the beginning and ending stages of my arrangement process.This would include her support in starting the death certificate process for my dad. What I like most about her support with this task is that she was very detailed to facts to ensure there were no errors. While I initially choose the Ormond Beach location, I would soon change my mind and select the Port Orange, FL location for my services. This being said, I appreciated the fact that Christina and Lisa maintained their relationship with me although I would now work with the Port Orange location. Brian Gifford- Funeral Director, of Port Orange was very accommodating to my needs. In fact, he worked closely with Christian on many issues associated with my arrangements. Never did Brian display any negative behavior for having to work with another office to support the preparation of service for my late dad. What impressed me most about Brain was the way he conducted himself during the funeral process. Brian interacted with my mother and other family members and expressed his condolences for our loss. In addition, he met with family and friends as they entered the funeral home and greeted them in a friendly professional manor. Brain also oversaw the audio and visual task associated with our service. Brian did a wonderful job and took the responsibility and stress involved with these tasks away from me so that I could be apart of the service for my dad. Overall, I am truly impressed with my experience with Baldwin Brothers and would recommend their professional services to any one in need of affordable, professional, superb service. I thank every associate that had a share in making this hard time as smooth as possible. Trust me, you will not go wrong by entrusting Baldwin Brothers to care for the last wishes of your loved ones. Thank You!!! Baldwin Brothers for all you have done! Sincerely, Mr. Newton C/O The Rutledge Family

Names have been removed per their demand, but let me be clear: the facts are unchanged. We paid nearly $10,000 expecting professionalism, compassion, and dignity. What we got was the opposite. Staff arrived in sweatpants to collect our loved one, despite being told they would be in formal attire. The 24-hour service they promote? Nonexistent when we needed it most. It took two days and multiple escalations just to get basic answers while trying to plan with out-of-town family. The planning process was cold and dismissive, especially toward my grieving father-in-law and our autistic child, who was treated with visible discomfort and ignorance. We were sold add-ons like a $200 video that looked like something anyone could make for free. The makeup and preparation were so poorly done, our family had to fix it. The flowers arrived in the middle of the service. Staff looked ready to clock out before we had even said goodbye. And the final insult? They gave us the wrong cremation date and blamed us--even though their own staff gave the date on speakerphone. The only bright spot was a single individual at the crematorium who treated us with true care and respect. But sadly, that was the exception, not the standard. Instead of taking feedback and growing from it, this business chose to intimidate and silence. That speaks volumes. Classy facilities can't make up for trashy service and an even worse attitude when called out for it. If you value empathy, integrity, and support during one of life's hardest moments--do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. #TruthMatters #GriefDeservesCompassion #NotJustABusiness #DoBetter #StayAway #HonestReview
