Legacy Funeral Group has announced the acquisition of C.T. Baker & Sons Funeral Homes and Cedar Lawn Haven of Rest Cemetery (southern Brazoria County). C.T. Baker & Sons Funeral Homes includes the original Baker Funeral Home (West Columbia), a location in Brazoria and a cemetery in West Columbia.

The Baker family has been dedicated to serving the community since 1958. Opened by C.T. and Mary Rose Baker, C.T. Baker & Sons was a family operation; their sons also worked at the firm. They eventually passed the business on to son William, who later sold it to his son, Kyle, to continue the family legacy. Kyle and his mother, Ann, remain vital members of the firm. Kyle Baker’s decision to join Legacy Funeral Group will continue the firm’s six-decades-long tradition of personalized, family-to-family care.
