Martin Schwartz Funeral Home has been there for us through multiple family member losses through the years. They have always been professional and acted with the utmost empathy and compassion. They always go out of the way to help with the difficult decisions during a time when you may not be up to the task. Tiffany Kramer is one of those associates. Thank you.

Our family needed all the assistance and guidance provided by Martin Schwartz to make the many decisions required to honor and celebrate our mother’s life. They are very efficient and communicated well so all the details fell into place. Also, it was great for our family to enjoy a catered meal together at the funeral home following the graveside service. The food was excellent!

Can't say enough words of Thanks to each person at Martin Schwartz Funeral Home. Terry, Greg, Tiffany and Nathan. They all went above and beyond for each person they came in contact with, and anyone who enters their business. The compassion and understanding shown to each person while handling the loss was greatly appreciated.
Tiffany handles all of the life insurance issues, no matter how awful some of them (Jackson Insurance) can be. She has been an amazing person to have the patience to deal with them. I personally would have not been able to handle everything without the great staff.

Martin Schwartz Funeral Home & Crematory is highly recommended by our family. We lost our mother two years ago and they handled her arrangements beautifully. So when we lost our father this April, we turned to them again. However things were much different as they had to navigate us through a funeral in the midst of a pandemic. Their professionalism and support made the arrangements for our father go very smoothly during this crazy time of social distancing. Although there were only the 6 siblings in attendance, the funeral was beautiful! Thank you to their staff for making this a good experience
