“I just wanted to leave a review and let Nicole know what a heaven send she was in this process. No one wants to have to go through this process let alone for a child. She was so helpful and compassionate from the very beginning. Everyone there went above and beyond to ensure our baby made it their safe and kept Me updated the entire process. They provided these services completely free for our miscarriage, I will be forever thankful for them during this difficult process. Even after I picked our baby up, the women I met with said do not hesitate to call if you need anything even if it’s 3am. They deserve more than 5 stars in my opinion. Thank you guys so much I am forever thankful for you, I could tell our baby was in the best hands 100% of the time.”
“Schneider Funeral Home was gracious, helpful, and showed great care in how they served my family and friends. They mourned with us, and they laughed with us in our stories. We are thankful for the services they provide. They went over and above. Thank you, thank you!”
“I am very grateful to Schneider funeral home. They were great from the start , The two girls, one being ( Zoe ) who came and got my mother from home when she passed away on June - 3 - 24, were so kind, professional , and sincere. myself and my brother started the process of arranging her funeral. we worked with Nicole , one of the funeral directors, and she was such a blessing that she went above and beyond her job. Nicole is the most sincere and compassionate person that I have come in contact with in a very long time! She was very patient and so helpful from the beginning to the end of my mother's funeral. I could not have gotten through my mother's funeral without her support and her team. I would recommend anyone who loves their loved one to go to Nicole she has the most beautiful heart and genuinely cares about your loved one. Thank you so very much, Nicole & all of your team. Heidi 🙏”
“Very grateful for the entire team and Schneider. But most importantly I'm so grateful for Aaron. He brought a level of comfort he was able to bring my mom during this very sad time. Everyone has been very kind and caring and I'm so glad this is the place we chose to take care of my stepdad.”
“I don't think I've ever written a Google review...first timer. I hope that lends this review some weight. My family held a celebration of life yesterday at Schneider's celebration of life building. It was the perfect venue for the event. I was skeptical and was lobbying to have the event held elsewhere as I thought it would feel generic or cold. I was absolutely wrong. The staff and the facility couldn't have been nicer. They are very professional and made hosting his event almost effortless. They were also very responsive, sympathetic and accommodating on the day my dad died. He passed away in a Milwaukee hospital and it was New Year's day. I was very impressed with how well coordinated they were given that it was a holiday...and a Sunday. Great job.”
How to request military funeral honors
By law (10 U.S.C. § 1491), an eligible veteran's funeral can include, on request, an honors detail of at least two service members who fold and present the U.S. flag to the family and play Taps. The funeral director usually makes the request and will need the veteran's DD214 or other discharge papers.
VA suggests asking at least 48 to 72 hours before the service. More on what honors include and how to request them.
