Whelan Schwartz Funeral Home requires that all human remains be positively identified in the funeral home, or in the family’s residence, prior to burial or cremation.

The reason that the positive identification procedure is required is to eliminate the possibility of cremating or burying the wrong individual, in the event a hospital, nursing home, or other institution incorrectly identifies the deceased.

Whelan Schwartz Funeral Home guarantees all services will be handled with dignity and respect.

Prior to the private family viewing, it is our policy to obtain clothing for the deceased as provided by the family.

Your loved one will be dressed as the family deems appropriate and placed in the casket or alternative container selected for burial or cremation.

Identification will take place in an appropriate funeral home viewing / visitation area.

The Whelan Schwartz Funeral Home requires that all funeral services and merchandise be paid in full at the time of the funeral arrangements.

Items included but not limited to the cemetery opening cost, clergy and church honorariums, and military honor groups are to be paid directly by the family.

Payment will be accepted by cash, check, credit card or insurance assignment only.

Convenience fee of 3.5% will be charged if paying by credit card.
