Whether you’re arranging a funeral of a loved one, or considering how you would like your own end of life arrangements to go, you may wonder what
Last month at R.W. Baker we added an outstanding feature to our website called a Virtual Tour. This tour allows our clients and guests to take a 360 online walk-through of our Suffolk and Wakefield facility. We know that planning services for your loved ones can be an overwhelming experience and at R.W. Baker we want to make it as comfortable and easy as possible. Many times not all family members and friends can participate in viewing facilities prior to a service because they live out of state, or even out of the country. These new tours allow for a unique level of funeral planning.
Mr. John Constant was one of the first English speaking settlers in the Suffolk, Virginia area. He established a trading business and built a warehouse on the Nansemond River. He named this area Constant's Wharf.
