As part of our end of life planning, we met with Scott B. at the Baldwin Bros. in Wildwood. Scott was professional, friendly and prompt with answering questions we had. Easy, comfortable experience around a subject that no one wants to talk about.

I want to give a huge thank you to Ira and his entire team for the incredible care and compassion they showed during my brothers service. Losing someone you love is never easy, but they made sure every detail was handled with respect, love, and professionalism. The service for my brother was absolutely beautiful  more than we couldve ever asked for. Ira and his staff went above and beyond to make sure our family felt supported through every step. Their kindness, patience, and attention to detail truly made a difficult time a little easier for all of us. Im forever grateful for everything they did. I highly recommend this funeral home to any family looking for people who genuinely care.

Seven years ago I purchased a cremation program for myself and my wife from Mr CAMERON of Baldwin Brothers Funeral & Cremation Society. Since then I changed my mind from cremation to burial and being quoted $32.000 dollars for from competitors witch was really out of my pocket and could not afford. So I called Mr Cameron last week and asked if he had a better program for me and confirmed that he had and was very helpful. He showed me a quote from Baldwin Brothers Funeral & Cremation Society and it was really affordable compared to other companies. He helped me with cemetery plot in Fort Myers city cemetery and with all documentations. It cost me around $7.000 dollars and what a difference!!!! I will newer recommend anyone to chose other funeral services only Mr. Cameron from Baldwin Brothers Funeral & Cremation Society. Thanks for taking good care of me, being 90 years old many competitors wanted take advantage. Thanks so much, Leon

Although Raymond has trepidation about going to the vet, they treat him carefully and kindly. He has been going there for many years!

We saw Dr Mercer at the Wildwood location, and despite being under construction the office was very clean and smelled fresh. Im not sure if it was the specific time but the office lobby was empty, which was wonderful for my overly anxious American bully. My pup has been struggling with allergies and skin infections since we rescued him over a year ago, we recently moved so decided to use a vet office closer to home. Im so glad we switched because Dr Mercer didnt just prescribe antibiotics, but she is trying to figure out the root cause of my pups suffering. During the appointment she did blood work and instructed us to bring a urine/stool sample back, and they provided cups! Our old vet had us bring it in doggie waste bags. Im just blown away by the professionalism! Dr Mercer is being very proactive and actually creating a care plan for my pup and Im so grateful! Im switching my two other pups over for their wellness checks later this year! Definitely will be requesting Dr Merce

Kathy was very compassionate when we lost are dog unexpectedly. She came to our veterinarian hospital and was very patient with us while we said goodbye to our dog. She took very good care of our dog. She gave us a lot of resources to help with our grief and delivered Oliver back to us with care. I would recommend Kathy and Paws Forever to anybody.

�6 No one is ever ready when the time comes to say goodbye to a beloved pet, finding a cremation service that treats your furbaby with dignity and compassion is everything! Kathy at Paws Forever truly went above and beyond during an impossibly difficult time. From the moment I called Kathy, she was incredibly empathetic and understanding. She didn't just offer a service; she offered genuine support and allowed us the space to grieve. Kathy dropped everything and came straight over to pickup Nala. She sat and listened to us tell stories, she brought catalogs of different options to chose from and was very knowledgeable. She was extremely patient and so compassionate and kind. Kathy did an amazing job from the personalized urn, clay paw prints, hair clippings, a heart felt sympathy card and poems she included was such a personal touch that you just can't find anywhere. It is never easy to say goodbye, but knowing our Nala girl was in such caring hands made all the difference in the w

We lost our 16.5 year old terrier mix Emmy on Nov. 30, 2025, late Sunday evening. We had no idea what to do at that time of night. I searched for cremation services on google and found Paws Forever. I called Kathy at 10:30PM and she answered and was at our house 30 minutes later. She was so kind and caring and explained the process so well during our time of grief. When she returned Emmys ashes with the custom urn we purchased, she included a clay pawprint, fur clippings, and a nose print in a loving card with some beautiful poems. This was such a hard time and I cannot recommend Kathy highly enough to anyone who has to go through this grief. Thank you so much, Kathy, for your kindness and empathy.
