It's not easy writing this review, and if any of you are out there right now looking for a funeral home 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. read more

From the Business

Specialties

About us: The original owners of Nelson Brothers Livery and Undertaking, which eventually became Schneider 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."

I had not used this place before but thought I'd give them a try. I thought since it's a small…read morefuneral home that maybe they would need my business. I am sorry I did. After spending an hour with Brian, I truly wished that I could have moved my loved one to another funeral home. 2 years prior, I had used DMW and was pleased. They took care of everything and helped us get what we needed as far as life insurance etc. This place made US go and pay the cemetery. DMW didn't. we had no frills, no funeral, no visitation , just a graveside service. And it was $ 4,000 more than DMW - plus we had to pay the cemetery. Our daughter just lost her mother in law. They went to DMW, is having visitation, funeral, etc and it was three thousand LESS than what we paid. if you're reading this, my sympathies. Think before you choose someone who is just out for the money, and not as helpful as he could have been. At a time of morning, I felt he took advantage of us. From now on, if I need a funeral home - this place is not it.

The individual came to our facility and stated "I really have no reason to talk to the family." The lack of compassion from this man was unfathomable. When the gurney/pt was taken to the vehicle (that was parked in the drive/road way, he said "thank you" and walked away. The family had no idea the next steps. This man was completely void of all emotion. The family and staff were so taken back. The family had one chance, one memory, one time to make this transition smooth. No condolences, words of support. NOTHING. The poor family was left confused and staff upset. I will let anyone know to not use this FH so they don't have to send their loved one there.

I had already pre priced for my parents funeral at another local funeral home but decided to use Honquest when my dad passed, I'm very Happy that I did not only was my dads service very nice we were able to do upgrades for the service that I really wanted but unable with the other home. Tim and his staff's attention to detail was above & beyond anything we could imagine at a lower cost.

Having only one bathroom in the house (with previous sewer issues) we wanted to ensure our 60 guests had a clean and comfortable restroom to use, instead of the house bathroom.

It had a flushable toilet, separate urinal, sink with running water, cabinet, mirror, and hooks to hang jackets / purses from. It also came fully stocked with toilet paper, a paper towel dispenser, and a hand soap dispenser. And best of all it was air-conditioned, which was well appreciated on a warm 82 degree day. The unit also included a heater but we obviously didn't use that. Owner Lonny was amazing to work with as well. Very professional, yet personal, with a great sense of humor.

After my brother passed on Fathers Day i had hospice nurse contact First Wisconsin Cremation…read more Fortunately i had done some research several days before and found that local funeral homes in mauston Wisconsin area were very expensive. I was literally stunned by their price. But First Wisconsin Cremation was so reasonable and they picked up his body in the time it took to drive from beloit to mauston (about 2 hours) (this is on Fathers Day which makes it even more surprising! They provided a free urn. Will transfer ashes to fancy urn anytime. They did the work to notify social security snd whoever else needed notice. They arranged for death certification and got death certificates. The women who picked my brother up were great. I had tried to get there before they got there so I could see my brother one last time before they took him away. I was coming from Milwaukee and I was at a Father's Day lunch at the time that I got notified that he passed. So I had to finish up and drive home first and then drive to Mauston so they beat me, not by much but they were kind and let me spend 1520 minutes whatever I needed to say goodbye to my brother. I thought they were exceptionally great and kind and supportive and even gave me a hug. I had to assist them to get the gurney into a tight space next to the hospital bed that Lonny was in at his girlfriend's house. I can honestly say without hesitation that First Wisconsin cremation is the way to go if you have a loved one that you need to have taken away after they pass and to have them cremated. I was able to do the paperwork online a few days before he passed, which made it very simple and easy when he actually did pass. So save yourself some money and use First constant cremation instead of paying some ridiculous fee to a local funeral home. For his celebration of life, we are having it at a local restaurant/hotel. The room rental was $100 but since he was a local, they are waiving the room fee. We are having them provide some food for the people who come, but it would be way more expensive to do this at a funeral home.
