R.W. Baker & Company Funeral Home and Crematory is a family-owned business for over 135 years. For five generations, the Baker family has served the community and provided end-of-life services to grieving families. They have learned that the best way to run a successful funeral business is to listen to the requests of the family of the deceased and loved ones. When they pay attention, they help each family complete their relationship with the fallen in the right way. The final goodbye is a vital piece of the mourning process, and the team wants to be here to help you.
R.W. Baker & Company Funeral Home and Crematory offers all kinds of funeral options. You may have a wake or a viewing followed by a funeral and ending with a burial ceremony. A cremation is an option that can be simple by selecting direct cremation. Or you can choose a cremation service at the on-site crematory, followed by a memorial service. The great part about a memorial ceremony after the cremation is there is not a tight timeline. You can hold it months later if that is a more suitable time for the family to gather. A life celebration is also a popular option for the less formal personalities, with a party atmosphere complete with music and dancing.
The most important part of planning a funeral service is honoring the life of the deceased in a way that reflects their personality. You can adorn any service with pieces of their character and memories to create a memorable final goodbye. If your loved one served in the military, you could include Veteran Services or Military Honors in their program.
