Myself and my family cannot express the promptness & kindness of Stewart Baxter when both my mother & brother passed away. They were over and above kind & accommodating. Again, I can't say thank you enough to them.

Jacob went out of his way to give us guidance for our son's funeral arrangements. Very knowledgeable and compassionate.

They did an awesome job and worked on a very short time line. They went above and beyond to help pull together a funeral with military and law enforcement honors. Our family is grateful.

Jacob, Michelle, and Terese were a great help during my husband's, wake and funeral. They are helpful caring people who made things flow so easily. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people. Kathy from aftercare was the best asking helpful questions and giving great information about S.S. and insurance and bills. Things I hadn't thought of and helped me greatly!

Jacob is a very caring and genuine person. From my experience he does things the right way. I would highly recommend this funeral home.

We aren’t area natives but picked Stewart Baxter funeral home because we had experienced other services there and they encompass everything we wanted for our final earthly farewell for our mother. Todd was gracious, kind and generous with his sympathy and time. Our mother was presented in such a soft and peaceful manner after having such a difficult last year of her life journey. We are so grateful for Todd and everyone we worked with. Thank you for taking care of our family.

Nick and the staff at Stewart Baxter have been amazing to work with during our time of loss. Nick provided professional, courteous service to us and was very prompt. I know my loved one was taken great care of in his hands. Kathy with Aftercare was very thorough and provided guidance to us in a very difficult time. We can’t thank them enough for the support and help they’ve been to the Moravek family. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The staff at Stewart Baxter were so kind and caring when our mom passed away. They took the time to learn about her and our wishes for her viewing and service. They even reached out the night she passed away to check on us and see if there was anything we needed. They helped my dad tremendously after her service with directions on who to call and arrangements to be made following her death. They reached out to each of us girls to check on us and see if we were in need of any support. I truly felt cared for. I would highly recommend Stewart Baxter to anyone in need of their services.

My family and I said good-bye to our mother a week ago, and Jacob and all the staff at Stewart Baxter were so caring, compassionate, attentive, and absolutely amazing in all they did to make the entire process as easy and stress-free as possible for us. When our father passed away 14 years ago we used a different local funeral home, and while we were satisfied with their services, Stewart Baxter took it to another level. We felt completely cared for and took such comfort in the fact that we did not have to worry about anything. I cannot say enough good things about Jacob and the rest of the staff at Stewart Baxter, with a special thanks to Trey for his talent and caring.

This is the second time I have worked with Stewart Baxter Funeral Home. Each time I have great experiences and have had been supportive and caring from each individual to help me through the passing of my parents. I have received several messages from Stewart Baxter letting me know that they are here if I need anything. Which I appreciate it very much to know I have support and a place to turn to. I highly recommend Stewart Baxter Funeral Home.

Stewart Baxter’s professional, calm and ongoing assistance in dealing with my mother’s death has been a blessing for my entire family. They’ve made a difficult time much easier for each of us. The fact that they continue to reach out offering support well after the formal processes have been concluded is telling of what they’re truly about. Not only as a business, but also as people who honesty care.
