I've used the services of the Schmidt funeral home twice in the last year and both times I was impressed with the professionalism, helpfulness and compassion of John and Dennis. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Schmidt funeral home has taken care of funeral arrangements for my grandmother, my brother, and most recently my mom. John Hirsch and his team of professionals treated me with the utmost kindness and understanding during this very difficult and emotional time, as my mom passed away unexpectedly.

Hi everyone....We were dealt with the unexpected passing of our nephew and loved one and he was taken into the care of the Schmidt funeral home...We drove the 100 miles
to Erie for his private wake....The funeral home
was easy to find and we arrived a short time before the family....The grounds were well maintained and very clean with ample parking...
We were welcomed into the funeral home by
Mr Dennis Schmidt...He was very kind and very
compassionate about our situation...A very large
and beautifully laid out funeral home....All aspects from decor to comfort were exceptional.....Our nephews
