    Sunset Funeral Home

    I am absolutely blown away with my experience with Sunset from start to finish. I lost my dad a…read morelittle over a week ago while he was in hospice care in our home. Even though he was sick and in hospice, his sudden decline and death were very sudden and shocking. We hadn't even had the chance to really think about a funeral home selection, but because we've had other experiences there with other family members, we made an on-the-spot decision with Sunset, and I'm so happy that we did. Sunset staff came to pick up dad from our home to transport him and were extremely respectful, waiting patiently and unobtrusively for us to say our goodbyes and making sure everyone who might want to was present, even though it was late at night. Our next step was obviously planning arrangements at the funeral home itself a few days later, and I went with my mom and aunt (dad's sister) to help make some decisions. Our director's name was Wyatt, and I cannot express how much his demeanor, genuine compassion, and patience made this very difficult experience less stressful and almost easier. We knew that dad wanted to be cremated, but didn't have much else planned or know what to do. Wyatt walked us through many options while not being pushy and provided advice, support, and most importantly plenty of time and space when needed so the family could talk through and make decisions. He very gently guided us when we needed it, but also respected our decisions. When the day of the visitation came, once again we had outstanding service. Everything they had (delivered flowers, my dad's urn) was set up beautifully and perfectly. They helped us finish setting up our items and pictures we brought from home, provided easels and tables when needed, helped us get our picture slideshow on the TV, and helped us take it down when it was over. I'm the type of person that doesn't really like to 'bother' people, but because of who Wyatt was, I felt completely comfortable reaching out to him after the meeting and before the service when I had questions or concerns, and still do even after our services are over. He really did go above and beyond in his customer service and being respectful to my family as well as my dad's dignity as a person, as did the other staff we encountered there. While this has been one of the hardest experiences of my life, the staff at Sunset- especially Wyatt- made this very difficult time that much easier, and I can't thank them enough for the peace of mind they brought us and everything they did for us. From the bottom of our hearts, from myself and my family, thank you.

    It's not easy writing this review, and if any of you are out there right now looking for a funeral…read morehome on yelp I'm sorry for your loss. You are going through a hard time right now and I hope your doing okay. I don't know how else to really get into this review without telling it like a story. I had left a job and was driving up to Wisconsin to visit my parents in the few weeks I had between when I left the old job and started the new. When I reached my parents house my father, aunt, and uncle were waiting outside. A little unusual, but I didn't think much of it. After a few minutes of shooting the shit my dad dropped it on me that my mother had passed away just a few hours prior to my arrival. When he was pressed to name a funeral home he gave Schneider's as the place to take her body. They had previously done the viewing for a cousin who had passed prior. Dad remembered them having done well for his family so that's where we went. I went with my father meeting the funeral director and he was amazing to us. He went through everything in a compassionate yet professional and businesslike way. He laid out what the funeral homes services would cost and went over what we wanted for the viewing and so forth and was great in working with the church in the area to set up a mass for the funeral (Catholic Family). He was great as we picked out the images and text for the cards being presented at the viewing. I cannot say enough about how wonderful my mother looked at the viewing. I remember my childhood going to several funerals of relatives and remember them looking like the wax museum versions of themselves. That was not the case for my mom. She looked as though she could wake up at any moment. I don't know if that makes the grieving process any easier or if it makes it harder, but I know I appreciated it. One last thing I want to mention about Schneider's and I want to preface the telling of this is that I want what I'm about to say to reflect positively on them and I in no way hold them responsible. At some point between when my mom passed and she arrived at the funeral home she had a ring that had been in my family for 100+ years go missing. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Schneider was arguably more upset than we were. It was almost as if it was his families heirloom was gone. I cannot commend him enough for the compassion regarding this he showed my family.

    From the owner: About us: The original owners of Nelson Brothers Livery and Undertaking, which eventually became…read moreSchneider Funeral Home and Crematory, were John M. Nelson and H.J. "Rash" Nelson. The home was originally located at the east end of the Court Street Bridge. After John's death, "Rash" continued the business by buying Kimball Funeral Home at 158 South Jackson. In 1930, John H. Nelson started working with his father and the name was changed to Nelson-Kimball Funeral Home. He eventually became sole owner of the business in 1942. In 1960 Neal Schneider went into partnership with Nelson. After Nelson's death two years later, Neal Schneider and his wife, Dee, took over the business. In 1972 the name of the business changed to Schneider Funeral Home, and in 1974 a new funeral home was built on East Racine Street. Neal Schneider received his Funeral Director's license in 1956 and worked for Overton Funeral Home for four years before becoming Nelson's partner. Currently, Neal and Dee Schneider's son, William and grandson Neal J Schneider are the owners of the funeral home. Although the environment and the people change, Schneider's concept of funeral service has continued on. "It's helping people during a very critical, very difficult period of time," said Schneider. "its service to people that's always been the same. We know that it's a very hard time for people when there's a death, and we try to help them."
