“As POA and health care surrogate for a man that has lived in a nursing home for close to 20 years, I made arrangements with Baldwin for cremation services for him, including scattering in the Gulf. Prices were very reasonable, and working with Mary Beth Hansen was a very pleasant experience. She was flexible and accomodating in every way.”
“Mary Beth Hansen was the best She explained the process to my wife and I I detail. Very comfortable and professional throughout the process. Our passing will not be a problem for the family and it is exactly what we desired. Mary Beth made the process much easier than we expected. Thank you Mary Beth for you patience and understanding. Bless You.. Bill and Dagmar Burnside”
“Marybeth Hansen with Baldwin Brothers Funeral and Cremation was the representative who gave the seminar I attended. This was handled with notes of professionalism as well as sincere respect for the subject of our own death. Not a fun topic and one I’ve been avoiding but now it’s handled and I’m so glad to have come across this representative and this company. Better yet, a year end deal made it even better! Check them out!”
“Purchased a cremation plan from Mary Beth with Baldwin Brothers, something I have been wanting to do for a long time. It has put my mind at ease knowing I have a plan already in place, which provides my daughter some very appreciated peace of mind. Mary Beth has been so very informative and helpful in this whole process.”
“Morgan I Thankyou for your dedication to this profession. You are a gentle and kind soul. You gave peace throughout this process. Beacon took great care of me and my family when my mother died so I knew who should handle our recent passing family member. Speaking for myself death is never easy or the decisions that come along quickly but the process was caring kind and smooth.”
