Baker-Post Funeral Home & Cremation Center

This place provided the most unbelievable service for my mom’s funeral. They were there to guide us every step of the way, allowed us to put our own input in and really made it feel as though we were the only service they had ever done. They were polite, accommodating, explained everything and really made the best of a bad situation.

My father passed away suddenly in late December and I have nothing but praise for the way Baker Post assisted in everything from retrieving my father’s body, working with my family and kindly getting my father presentable for a small family only viewing prior to his cremation.
They were spot-​on in every way; generous, and gave «over and above» service. I highly recommend them and my 93 year old mother pulled Michael Post aside and told him she wanted him to handle her funeral as well when the time comes.

Our Mother passed away this past June 2013. We chose Baker-​Post to perform the cremation services. They came to pick up Mother the day she passed away.
When the cremation was completed, her ashes were placed into a temporary plastic urn container — awaiting the more formal urn.
And they stepped up to the plate and transferred the ashes from the temporary urn to the formal urn — once they received it — even though we had purchased the urn from Stonewall Memory Gardens. Stonewall is supposed to service their own hardware, meaning handle the transfer — and they refused to do so.
The staff at Baker-​Post Funeral Home saw a bad situation, stepped in where they did not have to — and took care of it for us — at no charge.
Truly a professional and class act.

Most expensive cremation service in town.
I have been calling funeral homes all day to get quotes on direct cremation here in the Manassas area. There are at least 4 funeral homes that provide direct cremation and Baker-​Post is the most expensive of them all at over $ 2000. Ridiculous rip-​off when competitors are charging $ 900 for the same services. It is very important to cost compare death expenses to avoided getting ripped off in your time of grief. Stay away from these guys.

My sister passed away on 26 January. This is the first death that had happened in my family in the United States, so I had no idea what to do. I called a few places, and I was not impressed after speaking to the Funeral Directors on the phone. My other sister and I needed to find a funeral home fast, so we could bring out sister from Japan. I checked out a few reviews on Unilocal,and decided on Baker-​Post Funeral Home. They met my expectations, and even more. They were very sympathetic and understanding of our pain. Additionally, I didn’t feel like they were just trying to make some money off of us. I felt like they genuinely cared. They helped us choose the right flowers, caterers, and funeral options. I am a huge techie, and I thought it was great that we could webcast the funeral to our family and friends who weren’t able to make it. I am big on getting any questions answered promptly, which they did. I could email or call, and I would get a response in less than 30 minutes. Even if I asked the same question again, the Funeral Director didn’t seem annoyed or frustrated. Even when my parents’ wanted to visit my sister for a second time before the funeral, the Funeral Director didn’t look irritated. He accommodated us, and we were able to visit with my sister more than once. The day of the funeral arrived, and with it, came a huge snow storm. The funeral home still kept the funeral going. They even offered to reschedule it, but we decided to go ahead. Two hours before the funeral, we were informed that the Chaplain who was going to speak at my sister’s funeral wasn’t going to show up. We freaked out because we didn’t know how we were going to find someone in such a short time. The Funeral Director contacted his minister, picked him up, and everything went ahead as planned. The webcast was great, and we felt as though, everyone was there without them actually being there. I saw it the next day, and the webcast was clear and shot beautifully. They also made a life tribute video of my sister’s life, and that was more than I could imagine. Everyone was impressed and kept saying that my sister’s funeral was beautifully done. The flowers were gorgeous, and it showed the integrity of the funeral home for dealing with companies who produced amazing work. I hope that a tragedy never hits the people I love. However, if it did, this would be the place that I recommend. The place is beautiful, and the people there are amazing. I am so glad that out of all the places I could have chosen, I chose this place because my sister was taken care of, and so were all of us who she left behind.
