Unfortunately, my mother passed in January of '25. Fortunately, we had Baldwin Brother’s to assist us every step of the way. Matt was an absolute saint guiding us through the process. This involved numerous obstacles as she was not a resident of (and did not have a PCP) in the state of FL. While unexpected in nature, the legal steps, conversations, and personal touches were made to feel organic. I had not encountered any "hidden fee" or "upsell," tactics during our time dealing with Baldwin Brother's, but rather had the utmost respect, willingness, and cooperation on our family's behalf. Everything was handled with grace and in a timely manner. As someone has worked in the death industry for many years, but had recently lost the most valuable person in my life... I could not be more grateful that I had the pleasure of working with Matt and the team. Thank you all for your commitment and kindness.
