Funeral directors handle the many details families shouldn’t have to face alone. They coordinate services, care for your loved one according to your wishes, arrange transportation, and assist with important paperwork along the way.

Beyond logistics, funeral directors are a steady presence during grief, offering guidance, compassion, and extra support when it’s needed most. At Schildknecht Funeral Home & Cremation Services, our role is to help you feel supported, informed, and cared for throughout the entire process.
