In a moment in my life where I felt lost and alone trying to plan for my mother’s funeral arrangements the staff at Jacob Schoen from the initial phone call to the handling of her cremation arrangements has been nothing short of amazing and really moving. I want to give a sincere and heartfelt thank you especially to Calvin, he has been so attentive and compassionate from the very start and it feels a lot in some ways like he’s an extension of family. I would strongly recommend Jacob Schoen to anyone in the future.

I don’t even know where to begin… this wonderful place was so helpful from start to finish during one of the most difficult times of our lives. I lost my mother in law two weeks ago suddenly, we called every funeral home in a 20 mile radius and they were the only funeral home to offer us help. They financially, emotionally and physically helped me every step of the way. Calvin Amato was our director and him and his entire crew were so incredibly helpful for us. They cremated my mother in law, and offered us the chapel to rent to hold her services, helped us set up, pick up host her services, recommended a pastor for us TOTALLY last minute, created our slideshow of pictures to play, held our hand with paperwork, and helped us with the death certificates as well. Most importantly they worked with us financially when it was a real blessing for us as it was so sudden and unexpected for us. Thank you to Calvin and the entire crew and Jacob schoen and son funeral home for everything yall did for us. I’m surely leaving things out that they helped me with but I can never thank them enough for being there for us in such a time of need. Thank yall so much!

Arrange for members of family or close friends to take turns answering door or phone, keeping careful record of calls. If Social Security checks are automatic deposit, notify the bank of the death.
When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
