Amy Baxter: "Not the Owner's Daughter"

Trigger warning: Death, Suicide, Trauma Amy Baxter is a licensed California Funeral Director and Embalmer whose passion is restorative art. She specializes in restoring traumatic cases involving homicides, suicides, and car accident victims. A native of the Central Coast of California, she moved to Southern California in 2004 to earn her degree in Mortuary Science from Cypress College. She is now the proud owner of Baxter Embalming, LLC, through which she provides embalming services to multiple mortuaries throughout Ventura, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties. She is also very honored to have embalmed decedents donated to the Willed Donor & Anatomical Gift Program at the University of Southern California, providing medical and dental students with specially preserved cadavers that can be studied for up to 2-4 years. She takes pride in her work. Her business cards read: “Baxter Embalming - The Difference is Measurable.” She states that providing the most beautiful “memory picture” possible is her calling and she can’t think of a more meaningful purpose in life. In her very spare free time, Amy enjoys writing and performing stand-up comedy. She has performed at Flapper’s, the Improv, was on the California’s Funniest Females Tour, and co-created/co-wrote a comedy series about a female run Mortuary. The show is based off her comedy and life as a mortician. Her hope is it will be picked up someday to give people an inside peek at the insane and hilarious experiences she’s lived through caring for the dead.
