Russell C. Schmidt & Son Funeral Home, Inc.

“A big thank you to Dennis at Schmidt Funeral Home for taking such great care of my family at the time of my grandfather's passing. He seemed to have an innate understanding that attention-to-detail goes a long way during a time of grief. When my grandmother, mother, and I met with Dennis the day before the funeral to get everything planned, he greeted us at the door, introduced himself, and expressed heartfelt condolences. All of our shoulders dropped a little because we immediately felt like we'd be in good hands. During the meeting, he communicated the details clearly, kindly, and patiently, knowing this was a sensitive time. He worked efficiently to pull the funeral together last-minute, coordinating with vendors so that we wouldn't have to worry. My grandmother, especially, was so grateful that he made the planning of the funeral so smooth. We walked away feeling like we were doing something very special to honor my grandfather. The day of the funeral, we were greeted at our car by John, who was expecting us. Again, just that alone was a weight lifted...that we didn't have even a second of not knowing where to go or what to do. At the viewing, Dennis greeted me with a hug. He paid close attention to and remembered the names of myself and my family members. He gave direction when needed and was warm and professional. We are so grateful that Dennis, John, and the folks at Schmidt Funeral Home made my grandfather's funeral, and the whole process, so seamless. Thank you sincerely.”

“My father recently passed away unexpectedly. I think in times of emotional crisis, like upon hearing that you’ve lost a loved one, it’s imperative to be treated with honesty, empathy, and professionalism and to be given accurate & timely guidance as you navigate that difficult process. Schmidt & Son Funeral home just knocked it out of the park on all of these aspects. As a resident of Nashville, I had to navigate these difficult, end-of-life, decisions and find a way to coordinate conversations with my dad’s loved ones while I was traveling to be there. Staff was able to meet me where I was and accommodate exactly what I needed. While I WISH with all of my might that the circumstances were different, I am eternally grateful for the care Schmidt & Sons Funeral Home provided. My dad was able to be laid to rest with the respect and dignity he deserved- I can never tangibly repay back what that means to me. Jerry was a literal SAINT and was there with me every step of the way. It just really resonated with me about the character of how this organization operates.”
