“Our Family serving your Family” is more than a slogan for us. It’s our Mission. On August 1, 1949, Phillip & Frances Schildknecht founded Schildknecht Funeral Home, with that mission and the commitment to providing the highest standards in quality and service for each family we serve, before and after the death. Our funeral directors are licensed in Illinois and Missouri, proudly serving the entire St. Louis Metro area including the counties of St. Clair, Madison, Clinton, Monroe and Bond in Illinois and St. Louis, St. Charles, Jefferson and Washington counties in Missouri.

In 2008 Schildknecht Funeral Home added an on-site crematory, Cremation Services of Metro East, LLC, a subsidiary of Schildknecht Funeral Home, Inc. Your loved one never leaves the care of our compassionate and qualified staff. All cremations are performed by a fully certified and experienced cremator. More people are choosing cremation as an alternative to a traditional funeral service and burial. However, cremation does not have to replace a funeral service. Most cremation services still include a public visitation, funeral or memorial service, graveside service, in conjunction with many other options.Please contact one of our directors and begin planning the services for you or your family member. Some of the cities included in our service area encompass but are not limited to O’Fallon, Belleville, Shiloh, Lebanon, Fairview Heights, Swansea, Caseyville, Collinsville, East St. Louis, and St. Louis.
