Pine Rest Funeral Home, Inc.

Beginning a new era of funeral service

       Beginning in 1995, Pine Rest Funeral Home introduced a new concept of funeral service to South Baldwin County. Pine Rest Funeral Home, located adjacent to Pine Rest Memorial Park, made Pine Rest the first cemetery/funeral home combination in the county. The combination concept has been proven to provide more convenience to families at the time of a death in the family, by providing more coordination between cemetery and funeral home and, in many cases, eliminating the long and often complicated procession from the funeral home to the cemetery. Visitors to the funeral home appreciate the open, bright atmosphere of the building and the beautiful modern chapel. Behind the scenes, Pine Rest Funeral Home is a state-of-the art funeral facility, with the highest quality equipment and professional staff available.

Since Pine Rest Funeral Home began operation, families have expressed their appreciation for the atmosphere and cordiality they experience at Pine Rest. It is our hope that we can help families through the first days following a death in the family, and provide friendly and professional service at a critical time.

Sarah and David Spivey, owners of Pine Rest Funeral Home, are dedicated to providing the very best funeral home service. Service to our families is the driving force behind Pine Rest Funeral Home's philosophy. In our lobby, cast in bronze, is our statement of purpose. It reads:

We dedicate this facility to
the service of our community,
treating every family with the
highest degree of compassion,
dignity and professionalism."


Pine Rest Funeral Home serves all cemeteries with the same degree of professionalism, and does not discriminate against any family because of financial condition, race or religious preference.
In a time when many funeral homes are being taken over up by large conglomerates with headquarters in different states or even in foreign countries, Pine Rest Funeral Home's local ownership assures families of true concern with their needs, and not the needs of corporate stockholders. 

METHOD OF PAYMENT


Payment for funeral services is due at the time the services are performed by the funeral home. We accept the following methods of payment:

1. A fully funded pre-need funeral arrangement contract.
2. Cash, business or personal check drawn on a local bank, or cashier's check.
3. Assignment of valid life insurance policies, provided the insurance policy has been verified in advance by the funeral home, and subject to an additional 4% of the total amount assigned.
4. Most major credit cards.

Pine Rest Memorial Park, Inc.

A tradition of service continues


In 1926, the first burial was made in Pine Rest cemetery. Since that time, the cemetery has evolved into the largest perpetual care memorial park in Baldwin County. Perpetual care assures families who own cemetery property in Pine Rest Memorial Park that their cemetery property will always be professionally cared for at no future expense. Pine Rest is beautifully landscaped with flowering trees and shrubs, and designed in such a way that almost every grave is within a few feet of one of our driveways, making visitation very convenient to family members.

Over the years, under the leadership of Roy, David and Sarah Spivey, Pine Rest Memorial Park has grown from a small country cemetery to a modern memorial park of almost 100 acres, with over 33 acres in developed gardens.  Recently, Brandon, Jessica and Shannon Spivey have joined in the operation of the business, and Austin Nunn, David and Sarah's daughter, serves as webmaster for this website (www.pinerest.com).

The Magnolia Mausoleum and Columbarium, located in Pine Rest Memorial Park, provides affordable above-ground burial and cremation niches for families who prefer mausoleum entombment or cremation. Family Estate Lots have been developed for families who prefer private family mausoleums and distinctive family monuments.

Thus, Pine Rest Memorial Park is the only cemetery in the county to offer ground burial spaces, garden mausoleum crypts, private family mausoleums, cremation niches, private cremation memorials and private estate lots.

Pine Rest offers many special programs for its property owners, including:

Christmas Vesperlights - in which beautiful red candies in special weatherproof holders are placed on graves in the cemetery, and burn Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Veterans' Flag Program- in which the casket flags of our deceased veterans are flown throughout the cemetery on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Veterans' Day.

Historic Tree Program - is a new program, begun in 1996, in which trees descended from famous or historic trees are planted in the cemetery. Trees may be sponsored by families in memory of a loved one.

Baldwin Memorial Cemetery, Inc.

Central Baldwin's Finest Perpetual Care Cemetery

In 1959, Roy Spivey saw the need for a funded perpetual care cemetery in the Central Baldwin area.  He purchased 15 acres on Highway 90 approximately three miles east of Robertsdale, adjacent to an existing cemetery.  In the early 1990's, an additional 3 acres was purchased.

Baldwin Memorial Cemetery serves the residents of Central Baldwin with the same degree of professionalism that is provided for the property owners in Pine Rest Memorial Park in Foley.  Property owners in Baldwin Memorial have the opportunity to pre-arrange their cemetery property, burial vaults, interment fees and headstones, saving their families from having to make those very emotional decisions during a time of great stress.

Property owners in Baldwin Memorial can also make their funeral home arrangements ahead of time through Pine Rest Funeral Home, saving their families from the painful and difficult task of making those arrangements when a death has occured.

As time goes on, residents of Central Baldwin will continue to have the benefits of a fully endowed perpetual care cemetery  in which to honor the memory of those who have gone on before us.
