Mr. Tom is a God sent angel with handling my dad's finally journey. I can not say thank you enough to this company. I truly felt like family and all my questions were patiently answered. It was the first time dealing with this phase of life. I was walked through the process and how much things would cost. The employees were amazing and helped me with his creamation. I am forever grateful to them. read more

Hi - About a year ago, we made pre-arrangements for our 89 yr old Mom and Jennifer Oliver made the process so easy. On 4/12, our Mom died and Bill Weissenbach was super helpful, genuine, kind, and on the ball to get things all set for our service on 4/15. He and his team gave us the care and comfort we needed. Thanks so much and all the best read more

In the beginning, before we had paid for anything, we were given a lot of attention and Brad was patient with all our questions. After we paid, we still had questions and we experienced very uneven service. When we made calls, we wouldn't hear back and had to make more calls. Mind you, funerals and memorial services are a time sensitive event so this lack of customer service just created more stress. Luckily, Amy picked up the slack and helped us a lot during the service. read more

Extremely professional team that is very considerate and accommodative. I wish the cemetery is half as compassionate as the team at Schrader. They helped us with a beautiful and thoughtful service for mom and helped us send her off one last time. Thank you! read more

There not enough words to express our gratitude and respect for everyone at Schrader's. Being 50+ year residents of Manchester, my parents expressed years ago that they wanted Schrader to take care of their final arrangements, fast forward to June of 2018 and after putting my father in a skilled nursing facility earlier than expected, circumstances required us to pre-arrange and pay for his funeral. The intricacies of what was required by the state of MO for his situation we're specific and JR (now retired) handled it with ease and respect. He walked my mom and me through it and made sure we had no question left unanswered. When we learned, that the situation required us to pre-arrange his spouse's (my mom), we simply called and said we wanted the exact same thing for her and we knew it was taken care of. Circumstances happened that my mom passed away first in January of 2021 from Covid and during many restrictions. I called on a Sunday morning and Bill Weissenbach answered the phone and made the next five days, which were challenging, seamless. No phone call or email went unanswered, actually the answers came so quickly we never had to worry about anything. Being one of six children means a lot of moving parts to coordinate, and they didn't even blink. The timing of her passing did not allow us to do what we would have wanted but Bill and the Schrader staff made sure she got the service she deserved. They worked seamlessly with St. Joseph's Manchester to work through restrictions and details and St. Joseph's Cemetery. Just this past week (December 2021), I had to make the same phone call again, this time about my dad, and Jennifer Oliver answered this time and she was equally as wonderful as Bill. Being the week before Christmas threw some curveballs and Jennifer and the staff made every accommodation to give my dad the wonderful service my mom got with more people involved. Again, no question or phone call or text went unanswered. A few challenges popped up with the logistics of having 21 of 24 of my immediate family members out of town, and the staff from the front desk to the behind the scenes heroes made it all happen. Accommodating 24 of us, 13 being grandchildren, during my dad's visitation was handled with care and concern. The energetic and curious young children were never treated with anything but the same respect we were. It deserves a mention that the coordinator at St. Joseph's said how they love working with Schrader's because no detail is missed and how wonderful they are. Twice in 11 months from initial purchase hone call to the final moments at the graveside, Bill Jennifer, and the whole staff made trying times seamless and graceful. They laughed with us, respected us, and showed immense empathy and compassion. I also want to mention Tom, who assisted on both of parents masses and burials, who was just as wonderful. This business takes a true calling, as it shows in everyone at Schrader. Using a local company makes a difference and it's clear why they've been been in this business for so long. read more

Compassionate, thorough, attentive - Schrader Funeral Home provided respectful and empathetic services to my family when my mother passed on. We're grateful. read more

Schrader's handled the arrangements for my mom, grandparents, and other family. They have always done a great job.

I would not recommend Schrader during the pandemic if you are hoping to make any aspect of the service virtual so that more people can participate. We recently had a loss in the family and our family had to do all of the legwork including hiring and coordinating with a videographer in order to live stream the funeral service and do a virtual visitation. It was salt in an already gaping wound for our family to have to deal with these additional hassles. At two months into the pandemic, we were very surprised about their lack of adapting to the present situation to better serve their customers. I hope they will make an effort to do better in this area, but until then, I will be spreading the word about this aspect of our experience. read more

Not the call I thought I would ever have to make. We were taken care of from start to finish. Cared for my mom but never pressure to purchase anything we did not ask for. Bill(can not remember his last name ex Marine and police) was so gracious to my dad. Bill truly make some of our most horrible days bearable. Thank you to the cremation service man(can not remember his name). He was also professional and courteous to my dad. If I ever need this help again I would return to Schrader and ask for Bill. read more

My family would like to Thank Schrader's for being very professional and detailed during our time of need. We would like to give a special shout out to Bryan Benson. He was professional, compassionate and very accommodating. He took his time in really listening to what we wanted to guide us in the right direction, since under the circumstances, we weren't always sure what we wanted. He was so personable, that by the end of our session, he became "cousin Bryan". We had so many compliments from our guests. The overall experience was a 10+ for sure. Thank you again. Love the Cody family. read more

I know, I know, who wants to think about funeral homes when you're Yelping it up? Not me, friends, not me. But this place is kickass, for serious. They really do provide caring and respectful service, and their prices are really reasonable considering they're in West County and have a more modern look and feel than a lot of the small-town places I was used to. read more

One hopes one does not need the services of a funeral home. However if one does, it is critical to have one like Schrader and someone like BillW to help one through the process. Ours was a complicated situation and Bill made all the arrangements to transfer my friend back to India. He cut through red tape and completed the tasks within two days when everyone told us two weeks is the minimum timeframe. Bill even called in a favor from the "highest office in the land" to ensure no delays. Great partner to have at a time of crisis - and this speaks volumes for the organization that they have employees like Bill. read more
