I am 76 years old and had been thinking about planning my funeral arrangements for a while. I looked into different options with several companies and found Baldwin Brothers to fit my needs. I sat down with Doug Ranno and he answered all my questions and concerns with care and understanding. I thought doing this process would be a little creepy but Doug made this process comfortable. For the sake of my family, I am glad I made my final arrangements.

I met Tom Hoffman at a health fair in my senior community. Since I was caring for a relative with a serious cancer diagnosis I stopped at the booth to ask him questions. I was so impressed with both his knowledge and his kindness that I asked him to email information to me for possible future use. There was absolutely no pressure. When my brother’s condition deteriorated I contacted Tom for more specifics. He guided me through every step with compassion and expertise. I was particularly comforted that he understood my religion’s guidelines on cremation and he was able to assure me that all could be handled in accordance with those guidelines. He took care of all of the paperwork and documentation ahead of time and I was able to spend the last weeks of my brother’s life at his bedside without concerns about administrative details. Tom’s assistance was invaluable during this sad process and I recommend Baldwin Brothers, and especially Tom Hoffman, wholeheartedly.

We lost my mom July12th and I have been working with Beth Voss on her funeral arrangements. She was very professional and very responsive to all my needs. As you know, losing a loved one it is not easy and Beth was the best to work with. Baldwin Brothers is lucky to have her.Doreen D.

Pre-planning was difficult, but Doug Ranno made it easier than expected. Doug listened to my wishes and provided essential information easily without question. He was interested in my plan for the future. I would and in fact recommended Doug to family and friends.

I want to thank Mr. Victor López who answered my call and decided to visit me at my own house since I had so many questions. He answered all of them and was caring and compassionate with a great sense of humor. We ended up buying a prepaid funeral plan for my dad who was very comfortable with Mr. López. Thank you for your kindness and willingness to help.

After meeting with a couple of cremation businesses, we felt that Baldwin Brothers was the best choice, because of the attractive pricing and the simplicity of how their program was presented. Having lived most of my life in Winter Park, I know of the reputation of the Baldwin family in the business. We had two meetings with David Minkow who was very professional and well informed about the services available through Baldwin Brothers.

At the death of my husband, I chose Baldwin Brothers initially because of the fair cost compared to other companies. As I and my family met with the representative, I quickly saw the attention given to the process to make final decisions was very professional, clear, and comforting. I would recommend Baldwin without hesitation.

Just had a terrible communication over the phone with the Administrator, Sandy. She hung up on me. I am a distraught disabled American veteran over my HERO and FATHER rather quick death. My visiting brother (from NJ) took our Mother to Baldwin where they never asked if they wanted a religious service or not or what church or religion. The ritual of funeral service is long standing for centuries. In Roman Catholicism the human body is sacred and must be placed be buried not ashes brought home (through tears) I write.

David Minkow is very professional and clear in his presentation. There was no pressure in making our choices and he took the time to answer our questions. We would recommend his and Baldwins services and feel a sense of comfort that our family will not have to be involved with payment issues when we pass (which we hope will ne many years from now)!

Baldwin Brothers is absolutely five star. Baldwin Brothers is the best of the best! For years my wife and I have thought about pre-paying for a funeral. But like everything else in life we kept procrastinating. The other day I spent two or three hours researching the Internet and I came to the quick conclusion that Baldwin Brothers was the best. Within minutes I got an email from David Minkow one of the representatives from Baldwin brothers. David was absolutely the best! David walked us through every step of the process and went through all the numbers one by one so that we would understand them. This afternoon I am glad to tell you that my wife and I finally have a prepaid funeral arrangement and boy do we feel good about that. Our kids are never going to have to worry about what to do and how to pay. Baldwin brothers has the best rates in the business and they are very very reasonable. What are you waiting for? Pick up the telephone and call David Minkow today!

David Minkow gave my husband and I his complete attention as he explained the differences in plans. Understanding the information made choosing the right plan simple and easy. Knowing that David and Baldwin stand behind our plans gives us the peace of mind that our wishes will be carried out without putting additional burdens on our children. In a time of uncertainty, I know I can rely on Davids honesty and integrity to compassionately handle all arrangements in our plan when needed.

When my husband, Bill, and I were ready to select a company to handle our after-life arrangements, we immediately thought of David Minkow at Baldwin Brothers. David & Baldwin Brothers handled arrangements for a close family member several years ago, and everything happened in a smooth and professional manner.David came to our home this week so we didn’t have to drive, and we very much appreciate this convenience. We were able to discuss our decisions without ever feeling pressure. The whole thing took less than an hour, and now we have peace of mind. No matter which of us passes on first, neither the surviving spouse nor our children will have to make these big decisions while grieving.I heartily recommend Baldwin Brothers Funeral and Cremation Society.Carolyn Towles

I was first in contact with Gail who patiently and kindly answered questions and guided me in filling out forms. Later, I met with Cathy formally and she informed me of options I had, and once againKindly answered questions and made sure I was comfortable with my decisions. Both of these women made a difficult situation a little easier to to handle. Thank you both for your patience and kindness.

I have been looking at funeral costs for at least 2 years. As a veteran, I could not have found a better place than Baldwin Brothers. David Minkow provided me with all the information I needed for a veterans service in addition to answering questions regarding when I travel or move. The prices were well within my planned budget and I was very pleased to get the paperwork signed so that my family has one less thing to worry about when I pass away. I would certainly recommend their services.

David Minkow did an excellent job explaining the prearrangement plans Baldwin Brothers has to offer. He was patient with me as we would correspond back and forth through email, answering the myriad questions I asked him. I liked the way everything was up front so when I signed the contract, there were no hidden surprises. I had compared Baldwin Brothers prices and services with another local funeral home and found it to offer affordable prices with quality service. Thanks, David!

Baldwin brothers gave my husband and myself the best experience in a bad situation. We lost our son at birth. They took care of everything free of charge. They helped with everything we needed. The other funeral homes wanted $3000 to cremate my baby. I would recommend them to anyone.

David Minkow, our counselor, did an excellent job in working my wife and me through the various options available for a preneed cremation trust at Baldwin Brothers. Low key, educational approach and no sales pitch. Very up front about costs, but sensitive to the nature/anxiety that we had about making these life decisions. Answered all of our questions and concerns thoroughly and honestly. Very happy we choose Baldwin Brothers: recommend them without reservation.

I bought two cremation policies here a few days ago. One for myself and one for my husband. My contact person was David Minkow and he was able to explain all of my options in a very clear way. While cremation policies may not be everyone’s favorite topic, David is so friendly and charming that he managed to actually make the experience pleasant and even fun. The Direct Cremation policy is affordable and, now that I have it, there is a load lifted off my shoulders. Don’t put it off! Give David a .call.

I recently purchased pre-need services through David Minkow, Planning Counselor with Baldwin Brothers, and cannot stress enough how effortless the process was. David was patient, knowledgeable, professional, and honest. There was absolutely no pressure to purchase anything I did want to purchase. I had actually done some comparison pricing, and Baldwin Brothers offered the same services but at more affordable prices. I highly recommend both David Minkow and Baldwin Brothers.

Recently my sister passed away which required us to find a funeral home. After researching and calling several funeral homes I met with David Minkow of Baldwin Brothers and we entered into an agreement with them. I have been incredibly impressed with these folks. Everyone who I worked was professional, kind, courteous, prompt and caring. These are trying and difficult times for a family but Baldwin Brothers did such a wonderful job we decided to plan ahead and entered into a prearranged agreement for our family.

Could not have asked for a better representative than Mr. Minkow. I was very apprehensive about cremation but he allayed my fears and I am comfortable with the arrangements we made. In comparison to what we would have had to pay for traditional funerals it is a great relief. Mr. Minkow was a pleasure.

My husband and I attended a seminar by David Minkow of Baldwin Brothers. He did an excellent job of explaining in detail the cremation services they offer. He gave us literature regarding Florida law regulating preneed contracts as well as other literature regarding their services. David answered all of our questions in a professional manner. We were given a price list and David explained the options. We would recommend David Minkow of Baldwin Brothers if you are considering cremation in the future.

The staff at Baldwin Brothers was more than accommodating throughout the whole cremation process for my mother. It was very unexpected and they bent over backwards to help me through what I thought was going to be a terrible process. They worked with my budget and created a service I know my mother would have thought was perfect. I cant thank them enough for the support they gave me! I would not go anywhere else after my experience here, really the best deal around.
