The compassionate staff of Schildknecht Funeral Home work closely in collaboration with Hospices and Hospice caregivers in O'Fallon, IL in order to provide a continuum of care that bridges the gap between the time of death and bereavement. They appreciate the trust that families and hospice caregivers place in them and they constantly strive to be deserving of that trust. At no time will family members be without support. The strong attachments and trust developed in one supportive environment (hospice) are shared and transferred to another (the funeral home) as the family moves through the process of dying, death and bereavement.
Hospice Care includes care of the patient and family prior to the time of death, at the time of death, and care of the family during the bereavement period. When you consider the philosophy of hospice and funeral service, it is clear why the continuum of care provided by the professional staff of Schildknecht Funeral Home is a "natural extension" of hospice care.
