The families we serve experience the unique attention and grace that comes from a professional staff solely focused on providing the best care for them. It is a privilege to help you design and arrange appropriate, meaningful, memorials for your loved ones. When we lose a loved one, we often need to feel the support of family and friends to carry us through the days.
In this difficult time of loss, the idea of not being able to share hugs and handshakes, tell stories, laugh, and cry together, adds to the pain. The families we serve will continue to feel our support, but we want everyone to be mindful of the bigger picture we are all facing. If visitations or services are held, please only attend if you are feeling well and please respect others by keeping distance and limiting time and physical contact.

Services
Sometimes the thought of planning a funeral seems too difficult for those who've suffered a loss. We're here to help lighten your burden and remind you of the true value a ceremony can hold for you and your family. Coping with a loss is never easy, and services are an essential part of the recovery process.
The biggest misconception about cremation is that there can't be a funeral service or visitation. This is absolutely not the case - when you choose to care for the physical remains through cremation, we encourage you to consider holding a memorial service as well.
There are many options open to you when it comes to honoring your loved one's life: you can provide a chance for friends and family to say goodbye through a final viewing before the cremation, and you can also hold a formal service either before or after the cremation occurs.Interment means that you'll bury or entomb your loved one's cremated remains.

My highest compliments to Joe and Amy on a very positive experience. They were both fantastic to work with. I’m a pretty critical guy, by nature, and I can’t think of a single thing to criticize. Their guidance, patience and professionalism were VERY appreciated. I felt like I never had to check on anything they were doing. In fact, they often had it covered before it even occurred to me to ask about it. I am especially grateful for their calm responses and patience as we walked down this unfamiliar path.

Our family will always be grateful to Joe and his team. From the very first point of contact, they gently guided us through the process with respect and compassion. They treated our family like we were their own family. Joe was always available and went above and beyond to provide us with outstanding service. Whatever we wanted, they made it happen. We truly appreciated their professionalism, but even more so their kindness and care.

My family would like to thank you Joe and his team for their professional and caring service for grandma during this difficult time amid the pandemic. She looked so beautiful. We had never had to deal with death of a family member. Any questions and requests were handled immediately and perfectly. Many relative and friends were joined the funeral through zoom without any connecting issue. Thank you Joe!!!

Joe and his team are top notch ... from top to bottom. My mother was beautiful! Every request from 3 sisters living long distance for her funeral were noted and done to detail. I agree with the reviews below to be true and accurate from my experience this past week. Joe Schmidt cares and goes above and beyond! We were fortunate my mother prepaid her funeral expenses and everything was perfect. Joe is very easy to work with and is accommodating. Thank you Joe for your honoring my mother and her daughters in every way.

Joe and his team were fabulous! The attention to details and the execution of our celebration of life for my father were done with such thoroughness and class! Joe was there every step of the way, helping us manage programs, music, church, guests, and just about everything, since we had never done this before! Very very happy with their services! Our family is forever indebted to them for all their help and direction. Very very easy to work with also!! Highly recommend them to any family. Lisa Skoog

Professional, kind, considerate, and friendly, this organization of individuals makes the entire death process so flexible. I was able to adapt everything I wanted into the planning of the funeral and I left with no further questions. The morning of the funeral, when we arrived, my father looked so peaceful in his favorite blue sweater. My sisters and I were at peace with the entire process and couldn't have asked for better, more attentive service. Thank you for enabling such a peaceful transition for our family!
