Over the years, the Baskerville Funeral Home has rendered such community services in the past such as:

(1) transporting people to and from physicians’ offices for appointments; (2) providing an ambulance service; (3) providing life insurance; (4) transporting people to and from the polls for voting; and (4) providing office space for community meetings.
