What Families Say About Us

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The family of Danny Hanna extends our deepest gratitude to Isaiah Schott and the entire team at Schott Funeral Home of Forest City for their exceptional support and compassion during a very difficult time. From the moment we reached out from Texas after Dan’s passing in January, Isaiah guided us with kindness, professionalism, and a genuine sense of care. The services provided were comprehensive and thoughtfully handled—from promptly posting Dan’s obituary on the funeral home’s website to coordinating the purchase and installation of his monument, which was thoughtfully completed ahead of Memorial Day weekend this year. Isaiah’s attention to detail and commitment to ensuring every aspect was taken care of did not go unnoticed. We are also incredibly thankful that Isaiah will be assisting us as we prepare for Dan’s celebration of life on July 5th. His ongoing support has brought us comfort and peace of mind.

Isaiah, Tasha and their crew are the best of the best! When you are grieving the loss of one of your loved ones they listen, they comfort, they are empathic and kind and they execute your desires with ease. It can really seem like a blur when you’re facing losing a loved one but Isaiah and Tasha were always checking in with me and my family members during the visitation and making sure we were ok and seeing if we needed something. The personal touches they delivered for my dad were amazing and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! Thank you Schott Funeral home for making such a hard and tough loss as beautiful as you did.
