Our basic direct cremation option includes removal from place of death, obtaining necessary paperwork regarding the cremation such as filing death certificates at local registrar, and filing appropriate coroner cremation permits.
Many people plan for life events such as weddings and vacations well in advance, but many people do not plan for something that is certain to happen, their funeral. While most people do not want to think about their own mortality, the time to pre-plan your funeral is now.
The primary advantages of pre-arranging your funeral is to relieve the burden on your loved ones in an already emotional time, and to ensure your funeral is carried out according to your wishes, eliminating the task of second-guessing what you would have wanted.Taking the time now to arrange your funeral is one less thing your loved ones will need to worry about once you've passed.

No matter if a death is sudden, or if it something that was a long time coming, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one. When you are in a heightened emotional state, even the most basic decisions can seem staggering.

My brother and I worked with Schilling after my mother's recent death (Sept. 23, 2021).
John Paul Schilling was professional and compassionate every step of the way, making this difficult time so much easier.
Our memorial service (Oct. 29, 2021) was everything we hoped it could be.
Our questions were answered every step of the process in a courteous and prompt way.
I can highly recommend Schilling's, which we also used when my dad died in 2004. My mom was impressed then and wanted us to go back to them again after her death.
I'm so glad that we did.

I couldn’t ask for better people with such compassion as John Paul and his staff. From the beginning they were welcoming and so understanding. I didn’t feel like it was just a business. I truly felt like they were more like a family. I would recommend Schilling Funeral to anyone. They made losing my mother and having to do the unbearable just a little more bearable. Thank You John Paul and staff.

They came to my home and took my husband whom had passed! Mind you I live a little over a hour away! They were very professional and kept me updated about the process! I received my husband ashes in a timely manner!! They’re the best as far as I’m concerned and will always have my business! Thank you for making this easier for me during the process of losing him and making it less stressful!!

These people are caring, kind, thorough, professional, and reasonably priced. Most of the arrangements were made over the phone the previous day and we expected at least 2 trips to make final arrangements and to pickup my younger brother's cremated ashes. My father and I traveled over 2 hours from the Chicago suburbs. We were greeted by a smiling young lady who helped us select an urn from numerous porcelain metal choices they have on display at a very reasonable price. Then we met John Paul Schilling and to our pleasant surprise he had already obtained the necessary paperwork for the cremation

John Paul Schilling, Mary, and Kora were so wonderful during one of the hardest times in our life. John made himself available many times during the process of planning, questions, setting up a special tribute to my father. As did Mary and Kora. He and his team think outside the box and wanted us to have a personal and special celebration of life for my father. Our whole family can’t thank each of them enough for letting us turn the viewing area into a miniature wooded, lake venue with fish my dad had caught along with pine branches and logs. Mary and Kora helped me setup and made it “fun”

There are no words to describe the amount of genuine care and compassion John Paul and his staff had for my family and I. Losing my mother at a young age and so unexpectedly I wasn’t prepared as it wasn’t something that we talked about, I didn’t know where to start or what to do. John helped me through the whole process and walked me through what I needed to do and the options available all while doing so over the phone. Living out of state I didn’t know who I should call so I went online and chose Schilling based on the amount of information they share on their site. John and his team

John P Schilling was the funeral director I contacted after my mom’s passing. They are a family name that I know and trust. The entire experience from our first meeting to taking possession of my mothers remains has been nothing less than outstanding. John makes you feel at ease with your situation and arranging details seamless.
This experience has put my thoughts for future events into perspective. Thank you for all that you did! I am forever grateful.
