Services
Since 1994, Baldwin Cremation & Mortuary Service has been a leader in the field of Mortuary services. Transport of the deceased from the place of death be it a Hospice facility, the residence, the Medical Examiners office or the Hospital to the funeral home for refrigeration, storage or preparation while the administrative duties and responsibilities of the facility are conducted.
The basic Military Funeral Honors (MFH) ceremony consists of the folding and presentation of the United States flag to the veterans' family and the playing of Taps. The ceremony is performed by a funeral honors detail consisting of at least two members of the Armed Forces. The Funeral Honors rendered to you or your veteran will be determined by the status of the veteran.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) furnishes upon request, at no charge to the applicant, a Government headstone or marker for the unmarked grave of any deceased eligible veteran in any cemetery around the world, regardless of their date of death. When the grave is already marked, applicants will have the option to apply for either a traditional headstone or marker, or a new device (available spring 2009).
A United States flag is provided, at no cost, to drape the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served honorably in the U. S. Armed Forces. It is furnished to honor the memory of a veteran's military service to his or her country. Generally, the flag is given to the next-of-kin, as a keepsake, after its use during the funeral service.
Funerals fill an important role for those mourning the loss of a loved one. By providing surviving family and friends with an atmosphere of care and support in which to share thoughts and feelings about death, funerals are the first step in the healing process. It is the traditional way to recognize the finality of death.

As a fellow funeral director and embalmer, I was extremely pleased with this firm. A personal friend of mine passed and I entrusted Baldwin to handle the embalming. We later had services at our firm in Ohio and I couldn’t have imagined anything better. She looked fantastic and the owner was very accommodating with our firm. Thank you Baldwin Mortuary. We will definitely use you in the future if needed!

When I experienced the passing away of my mom I was clueless as to what I needed to do. I was in a fog unable to move or speak .... my mom was gone . I heard a voice and someone took my hand and began to pray for my mom . As it happened Larry Baldwin was at the hospital and witnessed what was happening . He was there for me and my mom at precisely the right time and gave me the strength to move forward . The entire process of getting my mom to her final resting place is something I am sure I could not have accomplished without the sincere professionalism of Baldwin Cremation & Mortuary Service
