We understand that you only have one opportunity to celebrate and recognize the life of your loved one. We also feel we have only one chance to perform our work sensitively and correctly.Since 1949, Schildknecht Funeral Home has been adhering to the highest standards of service. Noting the increase in area families
choosing cremation over ground burial of the remains, Cremation Services of Metro East, LLC, a subsidarary of Schildknecht Funeral Home, came into being in October of 2008. Having our own on site crematory has allowed us the needed flexibility to better serve our families and also has given our families the peace of
mind knowing that their loved ones are always in the care of our concerned and compassionate staff. Some funeral homes may offer slightly lower prices, but cut corners with staff, facilities, and procedures. We attract and retain the best staff possible and our associates provide consistently outstanding care to those we are
privileged to serve. Our facilities are a mix of new and renovated buildings and provide warm, appropriate settings for a variety of ceremonial choices. During some of the most difficult and painful times in your life, it pays to choose the very best.
