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.

Not all firms can say this and we proudly remain independent. Cremation Services of Metro East and Schildknecht Funeral Home believe that we are accountable to you, not far away stockholders. We are able to listen to you, our clients and deliver what you want. We don't have to take directives from out of town bosses who don't understand our community. We respect your right to choose without undue influence and believe the most valuable asset we have is our reputation. Every staff associate is expected and empowered to serve your family well in a kind and gentle manner, with dignity and respect.Meaningful and Personalized Tributes are offered in a warm and caring atmosphere by kind professionals who listen, suggest, organize and carry out ceremonies that will be comforting to all who
