Hiers-Baxley Funeral Services in Ocala carries the Hiers-Baxley name back to 1885, making it one of the longest-established funeral providers in central Florida, though it is now corporately owned by Foundation Partners Group rather than independently operated — something families who prefer local ownership may want to weigh. The home offers a full range of services including direct cremation, traditional burial, celebrations of life, pre-planning, and grief support, with staff noted for veterans burial assistance and flexibility with interfaith arrangements. No pricing information was publicly available, so families should request the General Price List directly — which funeral homes are required by federal law to provide upon request, including by phone. With a 4.8 out of 5 rating across 185 Google reviews, the home draws consistent praise for attentive, personalized care; a small number of negative accounts exist, including one describing an unresponsive staff member at a satellite Belleview office, though this appears separate from the primary Ocala location.
